Background: In order for EEG event-related potentials (ERPs) to be useful diagnostically in the evaluation of individuals with memory disorders, we need to move beyond carefully controlled studies to the real world of the clinic. We will discuss our preliminary results, including correlations between the ERP measures and the standard clinical evaluation. Methods: We recruited over 150 consecutive patients seen in a memory disorders clinic to participate in a study using an FDA-cleared device for EEG and ERP testing (www.cognision.com). Patients were tested using a three-tone auditory oddball ERP paradigm. Standard clinical history, neuropsychological testing, and brain imaging were also collected. Results: We will discuss our preliminary results, including correlations between the ERP measures and the standard clinical evaluation. Conclusions: Several ERP measures correlate well with neuropsychological measures across a broad spectrum of conditions affecting memory and may be useful as cognitive screening measures in a clinical setting alongside neuropsychological testing.
