[Dr Jack Fogarty @JackFog]

During a recent RCT for MCI @westernsydneyu we asked our older-adult participants to put on their fav #music while we set up their #EEG, to help pass their time

This was super fun and @HEADBOXLab we've put their music into a playlist to share 🎶🎵

Great presentation @ACNS_Official #ACNS2023!

Dr Aland Astudillo explaining how frontocentral aperiodic #EEG activity is linked with executive function in healthy #ageing, but not in mild cognitive impairment.

[A/Prof Genevieve Steiner-Lim @DoktorGen]

So proud of our amazing @HEADBOXLab team presenting at #NICM higher degree #research conference today!

@lauren_dewsbury @AdeleCave87 Ryan Childs

📢 Significant development in mild cognitive impairment

Our #clinicaltrial showed 12-weeks SLT enhanced cognition in older people with #MCI

📌 Improved verbal #memory retrieval
📌 Increased executive function
📌 Well tolerated

Full paper out now 👇🏽

Dear @AcademicEEG community

Next year marks 100 years since the discovery of human #EEG.

In celebration, we are documenting the impact this discovery has had on our understanding of the brain and asking you to make predictions about the future...

📢@MBG_SPHERE grant awarded to @DoktorGen and team!

They will use AI to support older people to be safely and well-cared for in the community by reducing preventable presentations to the hospital emergency department 🚑🏥🩺

Thread below on what this exciting project will do!👇

[A/Prof Genevieve Steiner-Lim @DoktorGen]

Very excited to announce that we were successfully awarded $217K @MBG_SPHERE Seed Funding Grant for Project AI-ED:

Using artificial intelligence to promote integrated care quality for older people by reducing preventable emergency department presentations 🏥🚑

📢📢📢New preprint alert! CRUNCH! Is the scaffolding collapsing?

Our paper argues that the #EEG #ERP 'P3 ageing effect' is due to neural dedifferentiation - not scaffolding or compensation.

Check it out here: https://t.co/7hUP3kUvFK

[HEADBOX Lab @HEADBOXLab]

📢 New #EEG paper alert! 🧠

We assessed how different #P3 components mirrored the skin conductance orienting response

📌 SCR ⬆️ significant stimuli and slower to habituate at longer ISIs
📌 5 x P3 components reflected different processes
📌 P3 ≠ SCR
