Alzheimer's Early Prediction with Electroencephalogram

Computation of the Normalized Prediction Error of the Electroencephalogram Signal

In this paper, the normalized prediction error of the electroencephalogram (EEG) signal recorded at five different mental tasks was computed. The results indicate that there exists predictability in the EEG signal beyond the baseline prediction of the mean and the one-stepahead normalized prediction error of EEG signal vary greatly when different mental tasks are implemented, which implies that...

Early Detection of Dementia Using the Human Electroencephalogram

Improved life expectancy has led to a significant increase in the number of people in the highrisk age groups that will develop Alzheimer's disease and other dementia. Efforts are being made to develop treatments that slow the progress of these diseases. However, unless a sufferer is diagnosed in the early stages the treatments cannot give the maximum benefit. Therefore, there is an urgent need...

A Generalised Seizure Prediction with Convolutional Neural Networks for Intracranial and Scalp Electroencephalogram Data Analysis

Seizure prediction has attracted a growing attention as one of the most challenging predictive data analysis efforts in order to improve the life of patients living with drug-resistant epilepsy and tonic seizures. Many outstanding works have been reporting great results in providing a sensible indirect (warning systems) or direct (interactive neural-stimulation) control over refractory seizures...

Prediction of Mind-Wandering with Electroencephalogram and Non-linear Regression Modeling

Mind-wandering (MW), task-unrelated thought, has been examined by researchers in an increasing number of articles using models to predict whether subjects are in MW, using numerous physiological variables. However, these models are not applicable in general situations. Moreover, they output only binary classification. The current study suggests that the combination of electroencephalogram (EEG)...
