Abstract

The detection and characterization of cognitive deficits associated with age-related neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer`s disease (AD) is the focus of growing clinical research interest as increasing numbers of people survive into older age. There is a need to accurately detect the cognitive changes that signal the beginning of a progressive dementia syndrome and to differentiate among relative disorders [1]. In US according to National Center for Health Statistics of the centers for disease control & prevention 83,495 people have died because of Alzheimer` disease.[2]. The timely diagnosis & treatment may help the common man to have a better life. In this paper we are going to discuss about the various techniques that are used in diagnosis.
