    Theta and alpha ERD/ERS presented for each of the subject groups. The first graph in each row represents ERD/ERS for the control group, the second for the PDDNOS group, the third for the ADHD group and the last for the PDD/HD group. The upper two panels depict theta ERD/ERS at Fz in response to (a) load1 and load3 in the storage set, and to (b) each stimulus category in the search set. The lower two panels depict alpha ERD/ERS at Oz in response to (c) load1 and load3 in the storage set, and to (d) each stimulus category in the search set.
