Brief description of study
The purpose of our study is to better understand functional differences in brain activity between healthy aging and neurodegenerative conditions, such as Alzheimer's Disease. To do this, our lab uses a noninvasive and inexpensive technique to collect brain measurements called electroencephalogram (EEG). By recording EEG while participants do certain memory and other cognitive tests, we can link specific brain signals by brain location and time to cognitive activities (such as trying to memorize a stimulus). We collect the EEG, as well as traditional pen-and-paper cognitive test results, from participants every year. Using these brain measurements, we aim to discover differences between the healthy aging brain and brains struck by age-related cognitive disorders. Combining different brain measures together may help us develop better tests for these disorders.

Study on Aging and Brain Activity
This study is about understanding how the brain works as we age and how it differs from brains affected by diseases like Alzheimer's. We use a method called an electroencephalogram (EEG). An EEG is a tool that measures brain activity without any pain. Participants complete memory and thinking tests while we record their brain waves. We do this to see how different parts of the brain work during these activities. Every year, participants complete these tests so we can compare healthy brains to those with age-related issues.
- The study lasts for several years, with visits once a year.
- Participants will need to complete memory and thinking tests during each visit.
- This research is for adults and seniors who are interested in learning about brain health as they age.
We are looking for both healthy volunteers and those with cognitive disorders. If you're interested in how your brain works or in brain health, consider joining!
