The present invention provides an apparatus and a method for early diagnosis of dementia which measure and evaluate dimensional complexity or the generation of synchronized brain wave signals on a specific frequency or in a specific frequency band, based on the brain wave signals measured from a multi-channel brain wave measurement system. The apparatus comprises: a measurement unit with electrodes having plural channels for measuring brain wave signals; an amplification unit which amplifies brain wave signals measured by the measurement unit; a dementia diagnosis unit which measures dimensional complexity or the generation degree of synchronized brain wave signals on a specific frequency or in a specific frequency band based on the amplified brain wave signals; and a dementia determination unit which diagnoses dementia based on the dimensional complexity or the degree of synchronization measured in the dementia diagnosis unit.
