Active Studies
Prospective participants: you may complete more than one study. If you are interested in completing multiple studies, please inform our staff.
Studies at Stanford University
Read below about our studies taking place at Stanford University School of Medicine. Our studies range in time commitment from just a few study visitys to 4-5 months.
PSOPT Study
ECG personalization engine for optimizing cognitive training
This study will pilot a novel brain-computer interface using an ECG "personalization engine" to guide real-time adaptation of computerized cognitive training tasks based on an individual's autonomic response.
*This study is actively recruiting.
FACE Study
Facial Expression Based Personalized Engine for Effective Engagement in Cognitive Training
This is a facial expression-based personalization engine (FPE) for monitoring and modulating real-time effective engagement in cognitive training in older adults at risk for Alzheimer's Disease and related dementias.
*This study is actively recruiting.
COAST
Chinese Older Adult Study
The COAST study aims to validate and establish norms for our developed culturally relevant and thoughtfully translated Mandarin versions of widely used English cognitive tests by collecting and analyzing blood, cognitive testing data, survey data, and brain MRI biomarkers of aging and neurodegeneration in Mandarin speakers.
*This study is actively recruiting.
Studies at University of Rochester

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.
*This study is not actively recruiting.
BREATHE
Breathing, relaxation, attention training & health in older adults
The BREATHE study examines 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.
*This study is actively recruiting
