Detecting Depression: A 1-Minute EEG Test Reveals Mood Shifts

Depression, a challenging condition to diagnose early, may now be detected more promptly using a simple 1-minute Electroencephalogram (EEG) test at home. This study revealed a relationship between EEG results and the severity of participants' depressive moods over several weeks.

Predicting Dementia in Parkinson’s: EEG Might Hold the Key

Data from a single EEG electrode might predict cognitive decline, including dementia, in patients with Parkinson's disease. Researchers discovered that reduced strength of specific low-frequency brain waves, known as delta and theta waves, was strongly linked to cognitive dysfunction in these patients.
