WELCOME TO THE MEMORY LABORATORY

The Memory and Motor Rehabilitation Laboratory is interested in studying the mechanisms of neuroplasticity to develop novel and more effective interventions to improve physical and cognitive well-being in different populations

EXERCISE

We explore how to design novel and more effective exercise interventions to improve mobility and cognition for healthy and clinical populations, including people with stroke, Parkinson's disease, and cognitive deficits.

NEUROPLASTICITY

We investigate the mechanisms of neuroplasticity underlying changes in cognitive and motor function in response to aging, disease, and exercise. We use non-invasive brain stimulation and neuroimaging techniques such as TMS and EEG.

NEUROREHAB

We combine different interventions (e.g. exercise) and techniques (e.g. non-invasive brain stimulation) to design treatments for people that need to recover after stroke and reduce physical and cognitive deterioration in people with Parkinson's or Alzheimer's disease.

AGING

We study the underlying mechanisms of age-related memory loss. To do so, we use behavioral interventions and non-invasive brain stimulation to better understand why we experience problems remembering different types of information as we age.

SLEEP

We combine different interventions (e.g. exercise) to improve sleep quality and architecture in people with poor sleep quality. We also investigate synergies between sleep, sleep deprivation, sleep architecture, neuroplasticity and memory.

CHECK OUT OUR PATIENT TRAINING PROGRAMS

Have you suffered a stroke or been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease and you are interested in exercise? We are running several individualized high quality patient training programs. Training is free but in return we will ask you to participate in our research activities. These programs will improve your health and at the same time will allow us to learn more about how to develop exercise interventions to improve the quality of life of patients like you.
