INTRODUCTION: The prevalence of cognitive impairment and dementia in the older population is increasing, and thereby, early detection of cognitive decline is essential for effective intervention.
IMPORTANCE: Predicting neurocognitive deficits using complex auditory assessments could change how cognitive dysfunction is identified, and monitored over time. Detecting cognitive impairment in people living with HIV (PLWH) is important for early in...
BACKGROUND: Mild cognitive impairment in Parkinson's disease (PD-MCI) includes deficits in different cognitive domains, and one domain to explore for neurocognitive impairment following the DSM-V is social cognition. However, this domain is not inclu...
Discourse is a fundamentally important aspect of communication, and discourse production provides a wealth of information about linguistic ability. Aphasia commonly affects, in multiple ways, the ability to produce discourse. Comprehensive aphasia as...
INTRODUCTION: Owing to the heterogenic picture of bipolar disorder, it takes approximately 8.8 years to reach a correct diagnosis. Early recognition and early intervention might not only increase quality of life, but also increase life expectancy as ...
The early detection of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is crucial to preventing the progression of dementia. However, it necessitates that patients voluntarily undergo cognitive function tests, which may be too late if symptoms are only recognized on...
OBJECTIVE: Individuals with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) frequently demonstrate impairments in executive function, working memory, and/or declarative memory. It is recommended that screening for cognitive impairment is undertaken in all people newly ...
The clock drawing test is a simple and inexpensive method to screen for cognitive frailties, including dementia. In this study, we used the relevance factor variational autoencoder (RF-VAE), a deep generative neural network, to represent digitized cl...
OBJECTIVE: Neuropsychologists widely use the Rey-Osterrieth complex figure test (RCFT) as part of neuropsychological test batteries to evaluate cognitive function and assess constructional ability, with age being the most significant factor. Our stud...
Previous research has shown the benefits of early detection and treatment of dementia. This detection is usually performed manually by one or more clinicians based on reports and psychometric testing. Machine learning algorithms provide an alternativ...
