Exploring the Qualitative Experiences of Administering and Participating in Remote Research via Telephone Using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment-Blind: Cross-Sectional Study of Older Adults

Author(s): Dumassais S; Grewal KS; Aubin G; O' Connell M; Phillips NA; Wittich W;

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic caused a drastic shift in the practice of research and clinical services. It has been noted that cognition measured via in-person versus remote methods differ substantially, and it is possible that subjective and experiential differences exist between modalities. Objective: The aim of the study is to explore the percepti ...

Monitoring pilot trainees' cognitive control under a simulator-based training process with EEG microstate analysis

Author(s): Zhao M; Jia W; Jennings S; Law A; Bourgon A; Su C; Larose MH; Grenier H; Bowness D; Zeng Y;

The objective of pilot training is to equip trainees with the knowledge, judgment, and skills to maintain control of an aircraft and respond to critical flight tasks. The present research aims to investigate changes in trainees' cognitive control levels during a pilot training process while t ...

Attention, working memory, and inhibitory control in aging: Comparing amateur singers, instrumentalists, and active controls

Author(s): Joyal M; Sicard A; Penhune V; Jackson PL; Tremblay P;

Despite the ubiquity of musical activities, little is known about the specificity of their association with executive functions. In this cross-sectional study, we examined this relationship as a function of age. Our main hypotheses were that executive functions would decline in older age, that this relationship would be reduced in singers and instrumental ...

EEG-based study of design creativity: a review on research design, experiments, and analysis

Author(s): Zangeneh Soroush M; Zeng Y;

Brain dynamics associated with design creativity tasks are largely unexplored. Despite significant strides, there is a limited understanding of the brain-behavior during design creation tasks. The objective of this paper is to review the concepts of creativity and design creativity as well as their differences, and to explore the brain dynamics associated ...

Predicting response to stepped-care cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia using pre-treatment heart rate variability in cancer patients

Author(s): Garneau J; Savard J; Dang-Vu TT; Gouin JP;

Objective: This study examined whether high frequency heart-rate variability (HF-HRV) and HF-HRV reactivity to worry moderate response to cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) within both a standard and stepped-care framework among cancer patients with comorbid insomnia. Biomarkers such as HF-HRV may predict response to CBT-I, a finding which ...

The impact of cognitive-motor interference on balance and gait in hearing-impaired older adults: a systematic review

Author(s): Wunderlich A; Wollesen B; Asamoah J; Delbaere K; Li K;

Background: Hearing impairments are a rising burden in our aging society. Hearing loss is associated with reduced cognitive performance as well as decrements in balance and gait. Therefore, impaired hearing affects also dual tasking (DT). The aim of this review is to summarize the evidence for DT performance decrements of older adults with hearing impairm ...

Cognitive Speed in Neurodegenerative Disease: Comparing Mean Rate and Inconsistency Within and Across the Alzheimer's and Lewy Body Spectra in the COMPASS-ND Study

Author(s): Caballero HS; McFall GP; Gee M; MacDonald S; Phillips NA; Fogarty J; Montero-Odasso M; Camicioli R; Dixon RA;

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Lewy body disease (LBD) are characterized by early and gradual worsening perturbations in speeded cognitive responses. Objective: Using simple and choice reaction time tasks, we compared two indicators of cognitive speed within and across the AD and L ...

Overcoming boundaries: Interdisciplinary challenges and opportunities in cognitive neuroscience

Author(s): Brignol A; Paas A; Sotelo-Castro L; St-Onge D; Beltrame G; Coffey EBJ;

Cognitive neuroscience has considerable untapped potential to translate our understanding of brain function into applications that maintain, restore, or enhance human cognition. Complex, real-world phenomena encountered in daily life, professional contexts, and in the arts, can also be a rich source of information for better understanding cognition, which ...

'Things that shouldn't be': a qualitative investigation of violation-related appraisals in individuals with OCD and/or trauma histories

Author(s): Krause S; Radomsky AS;

Background: Cognitive models of mental contamination (i.e. feelings of internal dirtiness without contact with a contaminant) propose that these feelings arise when individuals misappraise a violation. However, an operational definition of 'violation' and identification of specific violation misappraisals is limited. Aims: This study's aim wa ...

Strategies used during the cognitive evaluation of older adults with dual sensory impairment: a scoping review

Author(s): Dumassais S; Pichora-Fuller MK; Guthrie D; Phillips NA; Savundranayagam M; Wittich W;

Background: Dual sensory impairment (DSI), the combination of visual and hearing impairments, is associated with increased risk for age-related cognitive decline and dementia. Administering cognitive tests to individuals with sensory impairment is challenging because most cognitive measures require sufficient hearing and vision. Considering sensory limita ...

The effectiveness of exercise interventions targeting sleep in older adults with cognitive impairment or Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (AD/ADRD): A systematic review and meta-analysis

Author(s): Arsenio Páez, Emmanuel Frimpong, Melodee Mograss, Thien Thanh Dang-Vu

Sleep loss is associated with reduced health and quality of life, and increased risk of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. Up to 66% of persons with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias experience poor sleep, which can predict or accelerate the progression of cognitive decline. Exercise is a widely accessible intervention for poor ...
