This paper presents a review of wearable EEG technology: the evolution of ambulatory EEG units from the bulky, limited lifetime devices available today to small devices present only on the head that can record the EEG for days, weeks or months at a time. The EEG requirements, application areas and research challenges are highlighted. A survey of neurologists is also carried out clearly indicating the medical desire for such devices.

Background: With global dementia prevalence estimated to reach 139 million by 2050, early detection of dementia-causing diseases is crucial for promoting preventative interventions. Wearable technologies have the potential to detect early signs; however, they need to be acceptable amongst users. We explored user's perspectives on the acceptability of wearable devices.

Background: At the pre-clinical stages of Alzheimer's disease (AD) development, the accumulation of amyloid-β (Aβ) and tau induces neural toxicity, synaptic dysfunction, and excitation/inhibition instability of neural network activity, leading to cognitive decline. However, the effects of Aβ/tau accumulation on electroencephalography (EEG) functional connectivity (FC) in cognitively healthy (CH) individuals during a cognitive challenge have not been elucidated. Therefore, the main objective of this work is to evaluate the association between Aβ/tau level and brain FC during a cognitive challenge in CH individuals.

Literature indicates a significant improvement in autobiographical memory (ABM) recall for different individuals during background music sessions. Existing research is based solely on qualitative data, although music has a significant impact on physiological activity.

Development of reliable objective biomarkers of chronic pain could improve pain assessment and treatment. We explored feasibility and acceptability of using a wearable electroencephalograph (EEG) and a screen-based eye tracker system to identify neural signatures of chronic pain in this population.

Alzheimers Dement
December 2024
Universidad de Antioquia, Medellín, Antioquia, Colombia.
Background: Dementia has a worldwide prevalence of 55 million people, with 60 to 70% of cases attributed to Alzheimer's Disease (AD). In Antioquia, Colombia, exists a group of families with early-onset AD associated to PSEN1-E280A, a genetic variant with an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern and a penetrance over 99%, which enables the study of individuals across different disease stages. Electroencephalography (EEG) is a non-invasive, portable, and low-cost technique that allows the study of electrophysiological changes associated with neurodegeneration.
