Evaluation of Cognitive State in Senior Subjects Using Neurosteer EEG System

NCT04683835 | Completed Results FDA Device

• 1 other identifier: 092020
• Study Type: observational
• Target: 80
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 1

Brief Summary

This is an observational study. Patients who fulfill all inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria will be enrolled in the study, be neurologically evaluated and will go through EEG recordings while listening to an auditory cognitive assessment tool. EEG recordings will be analyzed using proprietary computational analyses.

Conditions

Mild Cognitive Impairment

Keywords

Cognition; Neurology; EEG; Neurosteer

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Correlation Between Cognition Level Changes as Evaluated by Current Clinical Tools (i.e. MMSE) and Brain Activity Features Extracted Using the Neurosteer Technology.

  Cognition level changes will be evaluated by: 1. Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE). A commonly used assessment tool that evaluates cognitive functioning and produces a total possible score of 30 points. Patients who score below 24 are typically suspected of cognitive decline. 2. Neurosteer system (single channel EEG recording during cognitive auditory tasks). Using data analysis (a variant of the wavelet packet analysis and the best basis algorithm), the EEG signal is transformed into brain activity features (e.g. ST4, A0). Pearson correlation will be calculated between the mean activity of the EEG features and individual's MMSE score.

  MMSE score will be taken from previous evaluation performed in the institute. Through study completion, brain activity features will be assessed twice within 7 days using the Neurosteer EEG system.

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Inter-patient Variability Between Two Consecutive Measurement Sessions.

  Through study completion, the brain activity features of each subject will be assessed twice within 7 days, using the Neurosteer EEG system.

Study Arms (1)

Patients

Patients who are assessed by the clinical staff using Mini-Mental State Exam (MMSE)

Device: Neurosteer Aurora system

Interventions

Neurosteer Aurora system DEVICE

The system is composed of hardware and software modules that facilitate the capture and interpretation of electrophysiological data as well as enable viewing the processed data in real time and offline. An electrode patch is attached on the subject's forehead to capture the electrophysiological signal. The signal is sent via low energy Bluetooth to an EEG Monitor. The signal is then sent via Wi-Fi to the cloud where the data is stored on a HIPAA compliant server. Data analysis performed in the cloud transforms the electrophysiological signal into easily readable data of brain activity, which is accessible via any web interface
