AI Turns Simple EEG Scans Into Accurate Dementia Detectors

AI Turns Simple EEG Scans Into Accurate Dementia DetectorsNew research shows that deep learning can use EEG signals to distinguish Alzheimer’s disease from frontotemporal dementia with high accuracy. By analyzing both the timing and frequency of brain activity, the model uncovered distinct patterns: broader disruption across multiple regions in Alzheimer’s and more localized frontal and temporal changes in frontotemporal dementia.
