Abstract

Chronic and heavy drinking alters level of neurotransmitters that may cause
Alcohol Use Disorders (AUD) and lead to lifelong irreversible brain damages.
According to the definition, AUD includes both Alcohol Abuse (AA) and Alcohol
Dependence (AD). Practically, AUD screening is based on subjective assessments
involving self-assessment questionnaires. Unfortunately, the questionnaires are highly
subjective due to memory problems and dishonesty of AUD patients. It may mislead
the screening process. We hypothesized that utilizing objective techniques such as
electroencephalogram (EEG) can improve AUD screening. In accordance to the
literature, it is evident that EEG based techniques may improve the efficiency of AUD
screening. However, ^according to our literature survey, there is still no such EEG
based technique that can be applied both for AA and AD.
