CTAD 2023 | Implementation of EEG as a biomarker in Alzheimer’s disease diagnosis and treatment monitoring

While electroencephalogram (EEG) is widely recognized for its utility in epilepsy and sleep disorders, its potential in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is underestimated. Willem de Haan, PhD, Amsterdam UMC, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, Amsterdam, The Netherlands, discusses the implementation of EEG in diagnosis and monitoring treatment effects in AD. Despite its straightforward and cost-effective nature, EEG is often overshadowed by other imaging techniques. Dr de Haan identifies a lack of awareness and the challenges associated with technical data analysis as barriers to the widespread adoption of this technique in AD. This interview took place at the CTAD 2023 conference in Boston, MA.
