A machine-learning study finds that "brain age" calculated from sleep EEG waves can predict dementia risk, with a 10-year age gap increasing risk by 40%.

A machine-learning analysis of brain waves recorded during sleep may help identify people at high risk of developing dementia, according to a study led by UC San Francisco and Beth Israel Deaconess ...

In a recent Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience study, researchers describe their observations from continuous electroencephalography (EEG) recordings obtained from the brain of a dying 87-year-old man ...

Jena, Germany, 1924: Working in near-isolation and with painstaking tediousness, the psychiatrist Hans Berger observes rhythmic electrical activity from the scalp of human subjects. He is convinced ...

People with dementia have distinct brain wave patterns. Researchers are investigating how EEG tests could identify people in the earliest stages of the disease when treatments are mostly likely to ...

As dementia becomes more widespread, Mayo Clinic researchers believe that artificial intelligence is the key to enabling earlier and faster diagnoses. By pairing AI and EEG (electroencephalogram) ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- When patients undergo general anesthesia, their brain activity often slows down as they sink into unconsciousness. Higher doses of anesthetic drugs can induce an even deeper state of ...
