Abstract

BACKGROUND: Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is recognized as a condition that may increase the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease (AD). Understanding the neural correlates of MCI is crucial for elucidating its pathophysiology and developing effective interventions. Electroencephalogram (EEG) microstates, reflecting brain activity changes, have shown promise in MCI research. However, current approaches often lack comprehensive characterization of the complex neural dynamics associated with MCI.
