Scientists from the University of Bati have created a fast EEG test that can detect early memory disorders related to Alzheimer's disease. Development is described in Brain Communications (BC).
Fastball name techniques are a special type of electroencephalography. Sensors are fastened to the scalp, while the participants are displayed, including the flow of images, including repetitive. The system follows the familiar images of the brain.
54 healthy volunteers and 52 people with a light cognitive disorder took part in a pilot study held with Bristol University. In patients with memory disorder, the reaction was significantly weaker in patients with memory disorder. It is these people who have a higher risk of developing Alzheimer's disease.
The authors note that the test takes only three minutes and can be used at home, which reduces the level of stress levels. Large-scale clinical trials are currently underway. If the effectiveness of the method is established during additional studies, the new test can be invested in clinical practice. According to scientists, with the help of doctors, doctors will be able to detect the disease in the early stages and start therapy in the most convenient period.
