We have been developing a cognitive assessment system based on an electroencephalography-based brain-machine interface (EEG-based BMI) that uses event-related potentials (ERPs) as a virtual “EEG switch.” ERP reflects a temporal change in attention and is also known as a potential biomarker for assessing cognitive functions for older people even with motor decline. We recorded EEG data from 26 healthy adult subjects (18-79 years old) who performed the target-selection task with the EEG switch and compared the result with that of a standard neuropsychological test, the “Trail Making Test” (TMT). We found a correlation between them, and the result showed that this system has the potential for early detection of cognitive decline in order people.
