Abstract

The Electrophysiology Professional Interest Area (EPIA) and Global Brain Consortium endorsed recommendations on candidate electroencephalography (EEG) measures for Alzheimer's disease (AD) clinical trials. The Panel reviewed the field literature. As most consistent findings, AD patients with mild cognitive impairment and dementia showed abnormalities in peak frequency, power, and “interrelatedness” at posterior alpha (8-12 Hz) and widespread delta (< 4 Hz) and theta (4-8 Hz) rhythms in relation to disease progression and interventions. The following consensus statements were subscribed: (1) Standardization of instructions to patients, resting state EEG (rsEEG) recording methods, and selection of artifact-free rsEEG periods are needed; (2) power density and “interrelatedness” rsEEG measures (e.g., directed transfer function, phase lag index, linear lagged connectivity, etc.) at delta, theta, and alpha frequency bands may be use for stratification of AD patients and monitoring of disease progression and intervention; and (3) international multisectoral initiatives are mandatory for regulatory purposes.

Dr. Claudio Babiloni is supported by European Committee (H2020‐EU.1.3.1.H2020‐MSCA‐ITN‐ETN‐2016 project with short title “BBDiag”). The present paper was facilitated by the Alzheimer's Association International Society to Advance Alzheimer's Research and Treatment (ISTAART), through the electrophysiology professional interest area (PIA). EPIA is committed to (1) exploit EEG biomarkers for improving the understanding of neurophysiological mechanisms underlying Alzheimer's disease and age-related dementing disorders at micro, meso, and macro spatial scale and (2) promoting clinical applications. Of note, the views and opinions expressed by authors in this publication represent those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect those of the PIA membership, ISTAART, or the Alzheimer's Association. Furthermore, this manuscript was facilitated by the Global Brain Consortium (https://globalbrainconsortium.org). The Global Brain Consortium is committed to achieving the vision of improved and more equitable health outcomes worldwide by strengthening linkages between neuroscientists across borders and disciplines. Quantitative EEG techniques and biomarkers are considered an important resource for brain research and clinical applications in neurologic and psychiatric diseases, especially in lower- and middle-income countries. We thank Prof. Philip Scheltens, Dr. Cornelius Stam, Dr. Wilhelm de Haan, and Dr. Alida Gouw of Center at the VU University Medical Center in Amsterdam for the constructive and helpful revision of an original version of the manuscript. We also thank Dr. Claire Sexton of Alzheimer's Association for the same reasons.
