- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Cognitive function assessed by the Alzheimer’s Disease Assessment Scale - Cognition Subscale (ADAS-Cog). The ADAS-Cog, is the standard cognitive test used in clinical trials for dementia. 11 tasks that include both subject-completed tests and observer-based assessments. Together these tasks assess the cognitive domains of memory, language, and praxis. Specific tasks include word recall, naming objects and fingers, commands, constructional praxis, ideational praxis, orientation, word recognition, and language. [Week 0, 7, 15]<br>
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Absolute (V2/Hz) power (AP) density, relative power (RP) density and spectral power (Power spectral) of the EEG wave form. [ Week 0, 7, 15]<br>
