Summary

This is a planning project with a clinical trial pilot to prepare for a larger fully powered clinical trial. Goals of this pilot project are: to identify and address any modifications of the games required for adaptation to diminished sensory abilities; to optimize training dosage and test timing of retention of effects; and to test and refine the battery of outcome assessments. Primary outcome assessment are tests of attention distraction (subtest from a Useful Field of View Test). This pilot will explore a number of secondary outcome measures including EEG and functional imaging biomarkers of change, measures of general cognitive improvement and measures of function including a driving simulator task.

Conditions

  • Cognitive Enhancement
  • Aging

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Gaze-driven training games

Training games are played on a PC with attached eye-tracker. Games include embedded training principles to improve attentional control including resistance to distraction and inhibitory control.
