Abstract / Description of output

The Electrophysiology Professional Interest Area (EPIA) and Global Brain Consortium endorsed recommendations on candidate EEG measures for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) clinical trials. The Panel reviewed the field literature. As most consistent findings, AD patients with mild cognitive impairment and dementia showed abnormalities in peak frequency, power, and “interrelatedness” at posterior alpha (8-12 Hz) and widespread delta (<4 Hz) and theta (4-8 Hz) rhythms in relation to disease progression and interventions. The following consensus statements were subscribed: (i) Standardization of instructions to patients, rsEEG recording methods, and selection of artifact-free rsEEG periods are needed; (ii) Power density and “interrelatedness” rsEEG measures (e.g., directed transfer function, phase lag index, linear lagged connectivity, etc.) at delta, theta, and alpha frequency bands may be use forstratification of AD patients and monitoring of disease progression and intervention; and (iii) International multisectoral initiatives are mandatory for regulatory purposes.
