This approach has the potential to provide a greater understanding as to why individuals with cognitive problems struggle with real-world tasks. For example, rehabilitation experts might be able to detect lapses in attention/engagement that may not be readily apparent based upon behavioral observations alone.
Such a neurophysiologic biomarker may prove more sensitive to early deficits than NP tests, or provide incremental improvement to the NP measures.
Future research should examine this approach in larger cohorts and across patient populations. |
