EEG Screening for Onset of Alzheimer’s

Using a non-evasive and relatively inexpensive EEG analysis and software, scientists have shown that an accurate diagnosis of early Alzheimer’s can be made. A seven-year NYU study revealed the program is 95% accurate in predicting cognitive decline. A brain wave called Theta was much more prominent in people likely to decline and was especially abnormal in the frontal regions of the brain. Especially the hippocampus.
