新的脑电波测试,快球, 可能检测到早期阿尔茨海默氏症的征兆 在诊断之前的几年。 New brainwave test, Fastball, may detect early Alzheimer's signs years before diagnosis.

在巴思大学开发的名为“快球”的一个新的三分钟脑电波测试可以探测出在临床诊断前几年与阿尔茨海默氏病有关的记忆问题的早期迹象。 A new three-minute brainwave test, called Fastball, developed at the University of Bath, can detect early signs of memory problems linked to Alzheimer's disease years before clinical diagnosis. 使用EEG技术,测试记录了大脑对快速图像的反应,显示与健康个人相比,轻度认知障碍者的反应明显减少。 Using EEG technology, the test records the brain's response to rapid images, showing significantly reduced responses in those with mild cognitive impairment compared to healthy individuals. 这种便携式和负担得起的测试可以在家里进行,为早期诊断提供了实用工具,尽管还需要进一步的长期研究,以证实其预测价值。 This portable and affordable test could be performed at home, offering a practical tool for early diagnosis, though further long-term studies are needed to confirm its predictive value.
