Popis: In the elderly population Alzheimer’s disease is a emergent health issue which seeks efficient early detection, that is still a challenge for scientist. This study focuses at establishing a low cost EEG based Alzheimer’s disease detection system. This proposes EEG based wireless headset system, EMOTIV EPOC, for the detection of Alzheimer’s disease and investigating its effect on reaction time. AD effect on EEG was investigated along with the cross check on response time. Approximate Entropy (ApEn) method was used to calculate reduced complexity of EEG signals to detect Alzheimer’s disease. AD patients had significantly lower ApEn values than control subjects at electrodes F8, P7, P8 and T8 (p
