In his book “Why We Sleep,” Mathew Walker explained that Alzheimer’s detection via EEG monitoring during sleep was a major reason he decided to switch to studying sleep 20 years ago. He was trying to originally study diseases like Alzheimer’s and found that there was not much information on why identification on EEG was detectable before symptoms occurred, such as forgetting items’s locations.

I wonder if this is along the same lines, like a wider variety of EEG signal detection, clearer or more accurate diagnosis, or something entirely different. It looks like subjects were still awake but in a restful state, so maybe testing also does not require as much time as a full sleep study.

For what it’s worth, I know someone personally that is a genuinely kind person and a local police officer. He told me at some point that he had been diagnosed with Aspergers and I was a bit surprised. He might be an outliner or something, but he does a better job of being fair than most of the typical police encounters that I know of.

That’s a really interesting idea. That makes me think it would even be better in the sense that the data would be protected rather than risk a cloud service going out of business or changed their storage location. Not that that is a likely scenario but still.
