N2 - With the number of the elderly population affected by Alzheimer's disease (AD) rising, the need to find an accurate, inexpensive and non-intrusive procedure that can be made available to community Healthcare providers for early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease is becoming more and more urgent as a major health concern. Several recent studies have looked at analyzing electroencephalogram signals through the use of wavelets and neural networks. In this study, multiresolution wavelet analysis, coupled with the ensemble of classifiers based boosting algorithm is used on the P300 component of the event related potentials (ERP) to determine the feasibility of the approach as a diagnostic tool for early diagnosis of AD. The technique and its promising initial results are presented.
