About
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of SMR neurofeedback training on cognitive performance and electrical brain activity in elderly with cognitive impairment.
Full description
Older adults with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) are at high risk to progress to Alzheimer's disease (AD). Slowing down effect of dementia by enhancing brain plasticity represents on of the most prominent challenges. Neurofeedback is one of the promising techniques that showed therapeutic efficacy and cognitive improvement in attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, epilepsy, stroke. The investigators aim to study the effects of a sensorimotor neurofeedback training protocol (SMR) on cognitive performances in elderly and to assess whether MCI patients change in brain electrical activity after training.
