Cognitive Aging clinical trials at UCSF

1 research study open to eligible people

Cognitive aging is the normal change in thinking, memory, and attention as people get older. UCSF is testing a music improvisation program that looks at self-control and memory in older adults. The team measures behavior, mood, and brain activity before and after the program.

  • Music Improvisation Training on Cognitive Function in Older Adults

    open to eligible people ages 60 years and up

    This project will study the effects and mechanisms of a music improvisation training intervention on self-regulation of older adults with and without MCI. The investigator's overall hypothesis is that improvisation training will lead to improvements in self-regulation, compared to controls, and that improvisation training will be associated with specific changes in prefrontal brain networks and ultimately cognitive engagement.
