Dementia is a great public health problem, but treatments for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) have failed so far, partly because the disease is diagnosed too late for the damage to the brain to reverse. This project aims to validate a new brain health assessment that will identify individuals at risk of developing AD at very early stages using a simple, low-cost method. The assessment will measure the brain's response after eye blinks using a user-friendly electroencephalography (EEG) headset. The project will examine whether the blink-related responses measured with this portable system correlates w
Early identification of cognitive decline allows for earlier intervention with appropriate care so that entry to long term care can be delayed. This project explores two non-invasive assessments (eye-tracking and speech patterns) that have potential for cognitive assessment. Specifically, the project will design a system to capture voice and eye-gaze data during tasks, with the goal of detecting speech and oculomotor abnormalities associated with cognitive decline. It will combine the two modalities and leverage multimodal analysis techniques to generate more sensitive predictions. The project
Injury or complete tear to the Achilles tendon happens often after being in bed for a long time (e.g. if one needs to stay in bed for a long time because one is very sick). Astronauts in space have the same problem because being in low gravity is like being in bed. This project will find out whether providing a treatment with artificial gravity (using a human centrifuge) combined with either cycling while in bed or exercising while the whole body is being vibrated can help stop an Achilles injury after bedrest. The research team will also find out if there is a difference in the effect of rest
