Our Aims
As a lab, we aim to investigate:
- Lifestyle modifications to reduce the risk for MIld Cognitive Impairment and Dementia.
- Cognitive functions on which behavioral interventions can build, such as procedural memory, in healthy elderly as well as in patients with Mild Cognitive Impairment and Dementia.
- Patient preferences in treatment outcomes for patients with Mild Cognitive Impairment and Dementia.
