By 2030 1.4 million Canadians will be living with cognitive impairment and this trend will continue to increase
Cognitive impairments, compounded with mobility challenges, will affect the capacity of these individuals to enjoy an independent life. In the Memory Lab we study the brain mechanisms responsible for the memory decline that very often occurs during aging.
In the Memory Lab, we study how the brain changes through these processes and how these changes, in turn, modify our capacity to acquire and store information. See our aging projects here and help us by participating in our experiments.
OUR RESEARCH ON AGING

The signature of cognitive decline
This project investigates associations between markers of cognitive decline and different aspects of functional performance…

Aging and memory interference
This project uses non-invasive brain stimulation to investigative whether aging increases the susceptibility to memory interference...

Aging, sleep and memory
This project investigates whether aging modifies the interactions between brain plasticity and sleep during memory consolidation...
