  • Addresses challenges of real-world EEG artifacts and subject-independent evaluation
  • Employs Leave-One-Subject-Out cross-validation for robust performance assessment

Guideline-Based Recommendations

Diagnosis

  • Utilize EEGDecoder-x for differential diagnosis of AD and CJD

Management

  • Implement EEG-based diagnostic tools in clinical settings for early detection

Monitoring & Follow-up

  • Regularly assess EEG patterns to track disease progression

Risks

  • Consider potential noise and artifacts in EEG recordings that may affect diagnosis

Patient & Prescribing Data

Individuals with neurodegenerative diseases and healthy controls

EEGDecoder-x provides a non-invasive diagnostic alternative to traditional methods

Clinical Best Practices
