On the Early Diagnosis of Alzheimer’s Disease from EEG Signals: A Mini-Review

In recent years, various computational approaches have been proposed to diagnose Alzheimer’s disease (AD) from EEG recordings. In this paper, we review some of those approaches, and discuss their limitations and potential.
