Development of a Brain Index for Dementia Diagnosis Using Quantitative EEG Analysis

Abstract: Abstract. [Purpose] In this study, proposed and existing brain indexes derived from quantitative EEG analysis were compared in dementia cases and healthy subjects, to verify their clinical applicability in the diagnosis of dementia.[Subjects] The subjects of this study were 23 elderly women suffering from dementia and 18 elderly women without dementia, who consented to voluntary participation in this study after being informed of its purpose.[Method] There were two kinds of brain indexes used in this study.

“…At rest, the patient group showed μ- and α-waves in the sensorimotor cortical areas, prefrontal areas, and in an extended area over the occipital lobe. These results were consistent with the conventionally known origins of μ-waves, namely, the sensorimotor cortical areas 13 ) , frontal lobe 25 ) , and occipital lobe 26 ) . The presence of μ-waves at rest reflected the inhibition of neuronal excitation in sensorimotor areas, and may also reflect the resting state similar to α-waves 25 ) .…”

“…The significance threshold was based on a permutation test with 5000 permutations, using log-transformed LORETA values, with subject-wise normalization (on the assumption that differences in the base-line activity between healthy subjects and patients may exist). When μ-waves manifest in the sensorimotor cortex 13 ) , frontal lobe 25 ) , or occipital lobe 26 ) , the waveform components and the names of the waves can differ (such as α-waves) depending on their region of occurrence. Interestingly, this phenomenon is evident even when these waves have the same frequency range.…”

“…Stable EEGs were measured before staring the tasks, and task performance. The sites of the electrodes attached to the subjects scalps followed the international 10/20 electrode system, four areas of Fp1 (left prefrontal), Fp2 (right prefrontal), F3 (left frontal lobe), F4 (right frontal lobe), and O1 (left occipital lobe), and O2 (right occipital lobe), using the monoclonal derivation method 16 , 17 , 18 ) .…”

“…EEG investigates a brain electrical activity in different areas of the scalp, describing it in wave form or band, and in turn, varies in frequency and amplitude ( Lee et al, 2015 ). Frequently used for the diseases diagnosis and for the medical follow-up of people with dementia ( Han, 2013 ), epilepsy, and other clinical conditions ( Cunha et al, 2009 ). Regarding physiotherapy, it has been used to evaluate individuals’ cortical activity of during an application or simulation of motor and cognitive tasks ( Machado et al, 2014 ).…”
