Older adults needed to contribute to a greater understanding of healthy brain ageing
Research at the Healthy Brain Ageing Clinic at the Thompson Institute is investigating the impact of ageing on cognitive performance through the lens of brain imaging. The research will use magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to assess the brain’s underlying neurobiology and to contribute to future preventative therapies.
Seeking research participants
We are recruiting adults aged 50–85 years who are:
- English-speaking and right-hand dominant
- 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
What’s involved
There are three study components that each participant will be asked to undertake:
- Brief online and in-person self-report questionnaires
- Behavioural tasks of attention and memory
- An MRI scan to take detailed images of your brain
As a small thank you for your time and contribution to science, you will be offered an image of your own brain!
