Characterizing Alzheimer's disease severity via resting-awake EEG amplitude modulation analysis.

Changes in electroencephalography (EEG) amplitude modulations have recently been linked with early-stage Alzheimer's disease (AD). Existing tools available to perform such analysis (e.g., detrended fluctuation analysis), however, provide limited gains in discriminability power over traditional...

description Changes in electroencephalography (EEG) amplitude modulations have recently been linked with early-stage Alzheimer's disease (AD).

In this paper, we explore the use of an innovative EEG amplitude modulation analysis technique based on spectro-temporal signal processing. More specifically, full-band EEG signals are first decomposed into the five well-known frequency bands and the envelopes are then extracted via a Hilbert transform.
