EEG analysis (Electroencephalography) is becoming a promising translatable biomarker for predicting the likelihood that novel therapies and compounds will exhibit clinical efficacy early in preclinical development.
EEG and relevant analyses have been very useful in the drug development process in the context of several major central nervous system (CNS) diseases including Alzheimer’s disease, epilepsy, sleep/wake disorders, schizophrenia, depression, attention deficit, hyperactivity disorder and pain.
Additionally, EEG-based signatures represent promising preclinical screens to quickly determine CNS penetration, drug-target engagement, evidence of efficacy, pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic profile, CNS safety and toxicity and pro-convulsant risk.
In this webinar, the featured speaker will review the EEG analysis, related optimization parameters and candidate compound selection as well as case studies where EEG-based signatures in correlation with animal behavior could validate the EEG as the endpoint for a set of translatable biomarkers bridging preclinical and clinical programs.
Join this webinar to gain insights into EEG analysis as physiological endpoints to facilitate drug discovery for CNS diseases.

Message PresenterWho Should Attend?
This webinar will appeal to Scientists and Program Managers in the following fields:
- CNS drug discovery and development
- Alzheimer’s disease, epilepsy, sleep/wake disorders, schizophrenia, depression, attention deficit, hyperactivity disorder and pain
- CNS penetration, drug-target engagement, evidence of efficacy, pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic profile, CNS safety and toxicity and pro-convulsant risk
What You Will Learn
Attendees will gain insights into:
- Electroencephalography (EEG) analysis as physiological endpoints to facilitate drug discovery, lead optimization, or candidate compound selection as well as to serve for go/no go decisions
- Case studies of EEG-based signatures in correlation with animal behavior which potentially may validate the EEG as endpoints for a set of translatable biomarkers bridging preclinical and clinical programs
