Abstract

OBJECTIVES: Neuropsychological tests (NPTs) are widely used tools to evaluate cognitive functioning. The interpretation of these tests can be time-consuming and requires a specialized clinician. For this reason, we trained machine learning models that detect normal controls (NC), cognitive impairment (CI), and dementia among subjects.
