Approximately 50 percent of the risk for developing cognitive decline is modifiable – we want to better understand how to maximize healthy brain ageing.
UniSC’s Thompson Institute is investigating factors that impact how we form habits and our flexibility with them. Our study will use Electroencephalography (EEG) to assess the brain’s underlying neurophysiology that can help bridge gaps in ageing knowledge, leading us to learning how to improve formation of healthy habits in older adults.
Help us understand how to maximise healthy brain ageing
Older adults needed for research
We are seeking volunteer participants:
- Aged 60-90 years
- Medically healthy with no serious health conditions
- Have no known pre-existing psychiatric condition
- Not living with dementia
- Willing to volunteer three-four hours to contribute to this research
