Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The study will investigate structural and functional characteristics of the brain of dementia patients compared to healthy controls in order to get a better insight into importance of early biomarkers for the diagnosis of Alzheimer's dementia. The methods for obtaining biomarkers incude magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) and electroencephalography (EEG), electrocardiography (ECG) and neurophyshological assessments. Special parameters are being studied that have already been shown to detect changes in the early stages of Alzheimer's dementia.
