Fastball EEG

Indications

• investigational evaluation of early Alzheimer's disease

Clinical significance

• Fastball EEG detects significantly impaired recognition memory in Alzheimer's disease compared to healthy older adults

Procedure

• EEG method for passive & objective measurement of recognition memory
• requires no behavioural memory response or comprehension of the task
• task completed in < 3 minutes
• subjects passively view rapidly presented images
• Fastball EEG assesses their automatic ability to differentiate between images based on previous exposure (old vs new)
• subjects are not instructed to attend to previously seen images & provide no behavioural response

More general terms

• electroencephalography (EEG)
