Dr. Raksha Mudar, Lydia Nguyen, and collaborators published a paper in Brain Research  entitled "Event-related neural oscillation changes following reasoning training in individuals with Mild Cognitive Impairment". Click here for the paper. Congratulations to everyone for all of their hard work!

The Aging and Neurocognition Lab and other members from the Department of Speech and Hearing Science participated in the Walk to End Alzheimer's in Champaign-Urbana! It was a huge success as always!

Lydia and Shraddha attended the Alzheimer's Association International Conference in Chicago, IL. Lydia presented a poster entitled "Strategy-Based Cognitive Training Effects on Event-Related Neural Oscillations in Amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment". Shraddha presented a poster entitled "Relationship Between Use of Inherent Memory Strategies and Memory Performance in Amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment". Great job to both of them on their presentations!

The Aging and Neurocognition Lab is happy to announce a collaboration between Dr. Raksha Mudar, Dr. Wendy Rogers, and OneClick.chat! The team was awarded a Small Business Innovation Research grant from the National Institute on Aging of the National Institutes of Health. This grant will support a pilot study on the facilitators and barriers of using OneClick, a video chat platform, for older adults with and without mild cognitive impairment. See the UIUC College of Applied Health Sciences story on the partnership here . See the OneClick.chat story here .
