Individualised Cognitive and Motor learning for the Elderly (ICOME)
Motor sequence learning in the elderly is crucial to improve their motor function after serious health conditions such as strokes. Existing motor learning programmes neglect individual cognitive and motor differences, resulting in significantly varied improvements in motor function.
An EU-funded project aims to offer a management solution to the ageing demographic in the EU. It hopes to create an efficient method to provide a personalised approach to motor sequence learning in the elderly.
With goals to contribute to improving health management policies and future applications of advanced brain-computer interfaces.
On this episode, we speak to neuroscientist Dr Russell Chan from the University of Twente, who is one of the senior researchers apart of this project. Please follow Russell Chan's work @PrimeYourMind on Twitter.
