abstract = {Abstract.Background: Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a
stage between expected age-related cognitive decline and
dementia.Dementias have been associated with changes in
neural oscillations across the frequency spectrum, including
the alpha range.Alpha is the most prominent rhythm in human
EEG and is best detected during awake resting state (RS).
Though severalstudies measured alpha power and
synchronization in MCI, findings have not yet been
integrated.Objective: To consolidate findings on power and
synchronization of alpha oscillations across stages of
cognitive decline.Methods: We included studies published
until January 2020 that compared power or functional
connectivity between 1)people with MCI and cognitively
healthy older adults (OA) or people with a neurodegenerative
dementia, and 2) people withprogressive and stable MCI.
Random-effects meta-analyses were performed when enough data
was available.Results: Sixty-eight studies were included in
the review. Global RS alpha power was lower in AD than in
MCI (ES = $–0.30;95\%$ CI = –0.51, –0.10; k = 6), and
in MCI than in OA (ES = –1.49; $95\%$ CI = –2.69,
–0.29; k = 5). However, the latter metaanalysisshould be
interpreted cautiously due to high heterogeneity. The review
showed lower RS alpha power in progressivethan in stable
MCI, and lower task-related alpha reactivity in MCI than in
OA. People with MCI had both lower and higherfunctional
connectivity than OA. Publications lacked consistency in MCI
diagnosis and EEG measures.Conclusion: Research indicates
that RS alpha power decreases with increasing impairment,
and could—combined withmeasures from other frequency
bands—become a biomarker of early cognitive
decline.keywords: Alpha rhythm, brain waves, dementia,
