Noninvasive biomarker for Parkinson's disease possibly found in EEG data

[Rhyothemis]

"Specific angles and sharpness of brain waves seen in unfiltered raw

data from scalp electroencephalograms have been tied to Parkinson's

disease.

Reporting in the online journal eNeuro,

researchers suggest that noninvasive EEG readings may provide easily

detectable electrophysiological biomarkers to aid the diagnosis and

fine-tune therapeutic treatments for the disease and potentially other

motor disorders. " ...

Clever. Those pesky students. I wish they would've speculated about how early in the progression this (pattern) might occur.

This study found EEG alterations in early stage PD:

Seems obvious the brain waves would be different in a PWP--especially after someone else discovers it. Why didn't I think of that?
