Abstract
Many researchers have studied the EEG patterns in Alzheimer’s type dementia and these patterns have been suggested to be very useful in its diagnosis (1–4). While EEGs may well be useful, they alone do not provide an adequate diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease; methods such as neuropsychological tests and CT scans are required for as an accurate an antemortem diagnosis as possible.
