My Brain On Booze - A Unique EEG Test Reveals How Alcohol Sets The Brain Aglow.,
Technology Review
 









Excerpts:     Brain waves: Biotechnology editor Emily Singer wears a cap fitted
with EEG electrodes, designed by Alan Gevins and his colleagues at SAM
Technology. The device assesses brain function as Singer plays a series of
specially designed computer games. Credit: Kate Greene     Gevins, founder of
SAM Technology and the San Francisco Brain Research Institute, has developed a
system that combines EEG with cognitive testing--computer tests that assess a
person's memory or ability to multitask--to get a more direct measure of the
brain's ability to remember and pay attention. He is now aiming to commercialize
the technology, with the eventual goal of using it to more precisely assess
cognitive decline and tailor drug prescriptions to minimize cognitive side
effects.
