MRI Story

​

fMRI neural correlates of story comprehension to reveal mild cognitive impairment

​

The MRI Story study explores whether neural brain patterns invoked by story comprehension can reflect cognitive health in older adults aged 65 years or older, with and without mild cognitive impairment, to examine whether these brain patterns can predict changes in cognition.

​

Pandemic Study    NEW

​

COVID-19 emotional well-being study​

​

The Pandemic Study examines how the presence of a global environmental stressor like COVID-19 may change how one recollects and appraises not only ongoing daily activities but also past life events that may be recollected or appraised differently under stress.

BIS

​

Brain Imaging Study

​

The BIS study aims to determine the impact of  fMRI  scan acquisition parameters on brain imaging to evaluate their reproducibility and discriminative ability of the structural brain connectome in adults aged 65 years or older, who have a diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment.

BEEM

Effectiveness of a non-invasive, low-intensity brain stimulation approach in addressing emotional regulation

​​

The BEEM study explores the efficacy of tDCS, a non-invasive, low-intensity brain stimulation technique, for addressing emotional and behavioral symptoms in older adults aged 60 years or older, who have noticed changes in their memory or have a diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment.

BREATHE

Breathing, relaxation, attention training & health in older adults 

​

The BREATHE study will examine whether computer-based cognitive training combined with guided breathing biofeedback strengthens the capacity for adaptive learning and neuroplasticity by enhancing the brain's response to cognitive training in adults aged 65 years or older who have a diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment. 

ACT

Efficacy and mechanisms of combined aerobic exercise and cognitive training in mild cognitive impairment

The ACT study investigates how aerobic exercise (i.e. cycling) and computer-based cognitive training, separately or combined, impact cognition, brain structure and function, and physical fitness in adults aged 65 years or older who have noticed changes in their memory or have a diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment.
