Optimizing electrode configurations for EEG mild cognitive impairment detection by Yi Jiang, Xin Zhang, Zhiwei Guo, Xiaobo Zhou, Jiayuan He, Ning Jiang

“…PO3, PO4, PO8, and PO7, had the highest sensitivity 96.2%, which meant that relying solely on these four electrodes of the occipital lobe had the potential to serve as an objective tool for preliminary screening of MCI. The abnormal brain rhythm characteristics of the frontal, parietal, and occipital lobes in the memory encoding stage of MCI provide a new perspective for MCI-WM impairment, which has the potential to be a novel biomarker for the early detection of pathological age-related cognitive decline. …”
