Previous work has suggested that evoked potential analysis might allow the detection of subjects with new onset Alzheimer's Disease, which would be useful clinically and personally. Here, it is described how new-onset Alzheimer's disease subjects have been differentiated from healthy, normal subjects to 100% accuracy, based on the back-projected independent components (BICs) of the P300 peak at the EEG electrodes in the response to an oddball, auditory evoked potential paradigm. After artefact removal, clustering, selection, and normalisation processes the BICs were classified using a neural network, a Bayes classifier, and a voting strategy. The technique is general and might be applied for pre-symptomatic detection, and to other conditions and evoked potentials, although further validation with more subjects, preferably in multi-centre studies is recommended.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
