Predictive Diagnostic Approach to Dementia and Dementia Subtypes Using Wireless and Mobile Electroencephalography: A Pilot Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Developing a screening method for mild cognitive impairment in the aging population and intervening early in the progression of dementia based on such a method, remains challenging. Electroencephalography (EEG) is a noninvasive and sensitive tool to assess the functional activity of the brain, and wireless and mobile EEG (wmEEG) could serve as an alternative screening technique that is widely tolerable in patients with dementia from the preclinical to severe stage.

Materials and methods

Using wmEEG, we recorded bioelectrical activity (BA) from the forehead in 101 individuals with dementia and nondementia controls (NCs) during 4 tasks and investigated which task could differentiate dementia from NC.

Results

We found significant differences in three power spe
