New Test Detects Early Alzheimer's Warning Signs

Scientists developed a three-minute brainwave test to identify people at high risk of Alzheimer's disease.

The test measures brain activity while participants view images, revealing subtle memory problems linked to early-stage Alzheimer's.

Early detection is crucial, as new drugs work best when administered in the early stages of the disease.

Further research with larger participant groups is needed to validate the test's effectiveness and predictive power.
