Filter by:The purpose of this study is to investigate whether it is possible to accelerate learning and improve associative memory performance in healthy subjects, by (1) applying transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) during a verbal paired-associate learning task and by (2) optimizing the learning method with repeated retrieval practice.
The primary goal of this project is to evidence potential synergistic benefits on cognitive control processes using a video game ("Body-Brain Trainer", or BBT) that integrates cognitive and physical challenges in a complimentary fashion. Healthy adults will be recruited for a longitudinal experiment and randomly assigned to one of four study groups to mechanistically tease apart the possible presence of any synergistic effects on cognitive abilities through the combination of cognitive & physical challenges.
This study assess the feasibility of novel cognitive intervention utilizing tablet apps (TECH protocol: Tablet Enhancement of Cognition and Health) in terms of relevance, adherence, suitable challenges, training time etc. for healthy older adults. Older adults with normal cognition will be randomly allocated to the TECH protocol (experimental group) or the control group (no treatment). Assessments will be administered pre and post the 6-week TECH protocol by assessors blind to group allocation.
Breathing exercises are categorized as a mind-body practice. One in ten adults in the U.S. use breathing exercises for health purposes. The aim of this project is to examine if different slow breathing has different physiological and psychological effects.
Rationale Over-the-counter drugs containing hypericum perforatum (H. perforatum), have been argued to improve memory and sustained attention. So far, these claims have not been supported in human studies. However, previous studies used rather high dosages, and little is known about the acute effect of small dosages. Objective We evaluated whether an acute treatment with Remotiv 500 and Remotiv 250 (500 or 250 mg of H. perforatum quantified to either 1 or 0.5 mg of hypericin) improved memory, sustained attention, as well as mood and state anxiety in healthy adults. Method A single dosage, randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled trial was conducted with 82 student participants (33 women). Each participant received placebo in one session and one of two dosages in the other session. Order of the sessions and dosage conditions were randomized between subjects. Participants completed a battery of tasks assessing short-term memory capacity and sustained attention.
The purpose of this study is to understand how consuming healthy cookies every day for two weeks will affect different types of fat in the blood. Specifically, the overall goal of this study is to find out if the healthy cookies can increase a polyunsaturated fat called linoleic acid in plasma, red blood cells and white blood cells.
This trial will be conducted for the BBC. The aim of the project is to assess if consuming the spice turmeric every other day, in the amount consumed in a curry, can reduce cell damage and inflammation. The results of the project will be used to inform the TV program Trust Me I'm a Doctor.
Evaluate the effect of a caffeine supplement on the stimulation of lipolysis and the production of ketones in healthy adults (N=10).
Evaluate the capacity of different dietary supplements to increase ketone production in healthy adults.
The aim of this study is to compare the ketogenic effect of coconut oil and three MCT oils (60-40 , tricaprylin and triheptanoate) on the production of ketones in healthy adults. Each oil are evaluated individually or in combination over a 8h-period during which repeated blood sampling is performed.
