Abstract

The aim of this study was to analyze electroencephalographic (EEG) background activity in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) by means of multiscale spectral entropy (MSSE). To achieve this goal, five minutes of EEG activity were acquired from 18 cognitive healthy controls, 10 MCI subjects and 32 AD patients. Our results showed statistically significant differences (p-values < 0.05, Kruskal-Wallis test) in MSSE values for all scale factors. Additionally, a 3D receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to assess the discrimination ability of MSSE among the 3 groups, showing a good three-way discrimination power (volume under the surface of 0.6). These results suggest that MSSE can be a useful measure to characterize neural alterations in AD, even at early stages.
