Abstract
AbstractBackgroundThis study examined the effects of a 4‐week cognitive training program with neurofeedback (CT‐NF) using fNIRS among 86 healthy, older adults.MethodParticipants were randomized to either a treatment (app‐based ABC games) or control (Tetris) group, and they all completed seven cognitive assessments, pre‐ and post‐intervention. Also participants received live feedback of their brain activity (neurofeedback using fNIRS) while doing their exercises.ResultThe treatment (ABC) group showed significant improvements in memory and composite cognitive function, while the control group did not. Cortical brain activity (measured during CT‐NF) was associated with both cognitive and game performance.ConclusionThese findings suggest that CT‐NF and specifically ABC exercises, confer improved cognition in the domains of memory and overall cognitive function in healthy, older adults.
