PopulationSmall number of subjects in the study[37, 58, 80, 83, 86, 99, 101, 109111, 121, 124, 128, 135, 139, 140, 153, 159, 163, 164]
Merged databases are different due to local implementations[81]
Lack of different stages in AD cohort[86, 121, 135]
AD cohort includes participants taking antidementia drugs[81, 83, 163, 164]
Lack of population matching, age, gender, and/or education[66, 90, 99, 135]
Possible preclinical AD in N cohort[81]
Prodromal AD was applied in aMCI with Aβ42[150]

EEG experiment setupNo severe AD as hard to perform EEG recordings[66]
Presence of dominant alpha activity during EC condition[80]
Differences in datasets due manual artifact handling[58, 81, 163]
Low number of electrodes for source localization methods[37, 82, 163]
Low number of electrodes for connectivity analysis[83, 145]
Low number electrodes for advanced AAR methods[84]

Reported resultsLack of research for other dementia types[39, 109, 110, 139, 163]
Lack of longitudinal approach for N, MCI, AD populations[66, 128, 138, 155, 160, 170]
