Abstract

A neuropsychological examination is essential in examining higher cortical function. We have manufactured a diagnosis support system for dementia based on the neuropsychological examination used in Wakayama Medical College and have documented the validity of the system by experiments for 200 subjects (from 20 to 74 years old). The system is considered to be available as a training system for individuals who need rehabilitation of slight higher cortical dysfunction, or prevention of depression and improvement of higher cortical function. Therefore, we have constructed training problems for trial for such a system. In this paper, we estimate the problems and show the validity of those problems through the investigation of computed topographic EEG
