Summary

This study uses a portable 48-hour EEG monitor to check for hidden seizures in people with early-onset Alzheimer's disease (ages 40-64). Researchers want to learn how common seizures and epilepsy are in this group. The study involves 20 participants and is purely observational, meaning it does not test any new treatment.
