First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This pilot study measured brain activity (EEG) in 6 healthy volunteers while they performed computer tasks that test attention and memory. The goal was to develop better ways to measure thinking skills that could be used in future Alzheimer's drug trials. The study was terminated early, so results are limited.

If successful, this could help create better ways to measure thinking and memory in healthy people, which might be used to test future Alzheimer's treatments.
What could go wrong
This was a very small pilot study (6 people) that was terminated early, so results are limited and may not apply to larger groups.
