Abstract
LOPEZ-LONDONO, DANIELA; MEJIA, FRANCIA RESTREPO-DE and RODRIGUEZ-SOTELO, LUZ DARY. Alternative Protocol for Cognitive Event-Related Potentials in Children with Attention Deficit Disorder and Adults with Mild Cognitive Impairment. Rev.EIA.Esc.Ing.Antioq [online]. 2019, vol.16, n.32, pp.243-252. ISSN 1794-1237. https://doi.org/10.24050/reia.v16i32.1264.
Objective:
To support the diagnosis of ADHD and Mild cognitive impairment using an alternative protocol for the study of Cognitive Event Related Potentials.
Materials and methods:
Construction of a stimulation protocol, based on the Oddball Paradigm, in which colored cars were used as stimuli. This was implemented in the Presentation® software. Brain electrical activity produced from the stimulation was recorded using a 32-lead electroencephalogram. Finally we proceeded to analyze the signals obtained by visualizing the records. The functioning of the protocol was tested on two 12-year research subjects who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria.
Results:
In two healthy subjects (as a protocol test) it was possible to identify the activation of brain areas, related to attention and working memory.
Conclusions:
It was evidenced that, when applying the alternative protocol, brain waves characteristic of attention and memory processes were generated; which will enable the valuation of these functions in children with ADHD and older adults with Mild cognitive impairment.
