  • Abstract
    Spontaneous electric potentials on the scalp (EEG: Electroencephalogram) are generated by cerebral neuronal activities. The EEG signals are therefore rich with information about cerebral activities. As long as the living body is alive, the biological rhythm is always subject to fluctuations. Furthermore, Neuronal activities carry biological information to maintain the living state [1]. We are now testing two novel technologies, which are based on EEG fluctuations for detecting the early stage of dementias, especially Alzheimer´s disease (AD). Otherwise, there would be no other ways for its prevention.
