#188: The 5-Minute Brain Scan That Detects Dementia Early
About this episode
This episode discusses how a 5-minute brain scan using EEG technology can detect early signs of dementia.
Can a 5-minute brain scan detect dementia years before symptoms? Jurij Dreo, co-founder and CTO of BrainTrip, draws on 20+ years of EEG research to reveal how brain activity can be measured, interpreted, and used to catch the earliest signs of cognitive decline and dementia — often before they’re visible or irreversible. In this episode of Nina’s Notes, host Nina Patrick (PhD) and Jurij explore the real potential of EEG technology, why it’s been underused in clinics, and where brain-health diagnostics are headed next. If you care about protecting your memory and measuring your cognitive capital, this one’s for you. 🎙️ Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts & YouTube.
