N2 - The paper presents a feasibility analysis of a novel Spiking Neural Network (SNN) architecture called NeuCube [10] for classification and analysis of functional changes in brain activity of Electroencephalography (EEG) data collected amongst two groups: control and Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). Excellent classification results of 100% test accuracy have been achieved and these have also been compared with traditional machine learning techniques. Outputs confirmed that the Neu-Cube is better suited to model, classify, interpret and understand EEG data and the brain processes involved. Future applications of a NeuCube model are discussed including its use as an indicator of the early onset of Mild Cognitive Impairment(MCI) to study degeneration of the pathology toward AD.
