The forest flourishes: the tree will have more branches, they are in full bloom, and you can hear the birds sound singig happily in the forest.

Diagnosis of Alzheimer’s Disease

What is EEG ?

Alzheimer's Patients

• Electroencephalogram (EEG) is the recording of electrical activity along the scalp.

• EEG measures voltage fluctuations resulting from ionic current flows within the neurons of the brain. EEG activity therefore always reflects the summation of the synchronous activity of thousands or millions of neurons.

• EEG signals are commonly used for diagnosis of brain disorders such as Alzheimer’s and epilepsy.

The forest is less active: the trees are less developed, there are hardly any red flowers, and there are few birds sound.

Objective

The aim of this study is to provide an alternative tool for analyzing and exploring brain signals (specifically for Alzheimer's disease) through novel graphical and auditory representations.

The activity of each brain area of the brain is represented by a different tree, where trees grow and bloom, and birds whistle.

Four brain areas will be mapped into four trees
