Dr. Brice V McConnell's lab focuses on using sleep electroencephalography (EEG) to enhance our understanding of memory processing and brain health, specifically in the context of Alzheimer's disease. They aim to develop inexpensive digital biomarkers that can monitor cognitive health and detect early signs of neurodegeneration, which could significantly aid in diagnosing and managing Alzheimer's disease. By applying advanced signal processing and machine learning techniques, they analyze large datasets of sleep recordings to find patterns indicative of brain aging and cognitive decline.
