As per the new research report by RNCOS, “Brain Signal Analysis Software Market Outlook to 2017”, scientists are actively exploring various means through which EEG can be utilized for early diagnosis and prognosis of Alzheimer’s. Most neuro-biomarkers (such as those derived from MRI, FDG PET, amyloid PET, and cerebral spinal fluid analysis) are measures of brain structure, metabolism, or biochemistry.
