Cognitive Training clinical trials at UCSF
1 research study open to eligible people
Cognitive training is repeated practice of tasks to improve memory and focus. UCSF is testing music improvisation with older adults to study brain and behavior changes. The study uses simple tests and recordings to track results.
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.
