The EuroLaD‐EEG consortium: towards a global EEG platform for dementia, for seeking to reduce the regional impact of dementia

The value of Electroencephalography (EEG) to unveil pathophysiological signatures in neurodegenerative diseases that cause dementia has been recently highlighted. To grant EEG tools the necessary validity, reliability, and scalability to support the diagnosis of dementia globally, efforts will need to integrate knowledge developed by EEG labs across diverse countries and develop protocols that can be swiftly implemented by such labs to harmonize research and clinical practices. These are the aims of EuroLaD‐EEG, a consortium that brings together five Latin American (LAC) and five European countries to develop a harmonised EEG database (Aim 1) that can help improve dementia phenotyping and diagnosis (Aim 2).
