Clinical trials: Brain Aging, open to volunteers
Mild Cognitive Impairment, Alzheimer Disease
Spatial Navigation for the Early Detection of Alzheimer's Disease.
Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia and may contribute to 60-70 % of all cases. An early, accurate diagnosis of AD will become increasingly important with disease-modifying therapies.

Aging, Alzheimer Disease
Links Between Cognitive Deficits During Normal or Pathological Aging and Slow Waves Measured in EEG
With age, memory processes (encoding, consolidation and retrieval) as well as daytime vigilance are altered. Sleep is also impaired in older adults, notably slow waves that are known to play a key role in memory consolidation.
