It was possible to see that every band analyzed had peculiar properties regarding the amplitude of their frequency spectra. While some of them showed clear signals of differentiability (such as the delta band), others were harder to analyze (like the theta band). Since there were considerable numbers of observations to the results of each band, these were summarized below.  \textbf{Delta band:} amplitude increase to increased at  task blocks when compared to rest blocks for almost all the electrodes. Greater differences in the frequency spectrum come came  from channels positioned on the left side of the scalp, as expected from the literature \cite{10336175} \textbf{Theta band:} the most interesting differences are were  at the left side of the scalp (F5 and FFC3 electrodes). This band shows displayed  a decrease in frequency amplitude in the range of 5.5 to 7.5 Hz for task blocks. On the right side of the scalp, electrodes showed an increase in task response amplitude at 6 Hz, slightly higher than the significant 5,46 Hz amplitude increase found in \cite{10336175}. \textbf{Alpha band:} FC2 electrode shows portrayed  a particular response in which the task amplitude is lowered at 9 Hz. Most electrodes on the right side of the scalp show showed  a similar response at 11 Hz or 11.5 Hz, results that have been strongly found for right parietal areas \cite{10336175}. For the left side of the scalp, task blocks amplitude have had  a greater value at frequencies between 12 and 12.5 Hz when compared to rest blocks. \textbf{Beta band:} for task blocks, noticeable peaks at 16 Hz, 18 Hz and 21 Hz frequencies occurred  on the right side of the scalp were found. scalp.  Besides, there is was  also a decrease in frequency amplitude between 20 Hz to 24 Hz in most channels for the task block. Regarding the left side of the scalp, again for task blocks, most electrodes showed had  a decrease in amplitude at 17 Hz, 19 Hz and 24 Hz. The electrode that stands out for this band is FC1, which has had  clear differences between blocks at 15, 17, 19.5, 22 and 27.5 Hz frequencies. For most frequencies, task amplitude appears appeared  lowered when compared to rest periods. A significant difference in this band for between  task and rest was found in \cite{Garakh_2015} for the healthy volunteers. In \cite{7536152}, the authors of the study operated with a comparable EEG setup and got similar results. They found that the delta band was the most easily distinguishable regarding task and rest conditions. Differences of power contribution to the alpha band frequencies showed a decrease for task blocks as well. Results to the theta and beta bands were also alike to what was observed in this study.
