Comparative Study Between Alzheimer's and Multi-infarct Dementia
Dementia is a neurological disease that causes cognitive and behavioral impairments that could ultimately interfere with the ability to function at work or to do the usual daily activities. It is recognized as a healthcare and social burden and remains challenging in terms of proper diagnosis and treatment.
Developing a New EEG Method for the Early Diagnosis of Dementia
This is a non-invasive study investigating whether EEG, which is used in routine clinical care can be useful in diagnosing dementia. Novel in house developed software will analyse EEG data for this purpose from people with Alzheimer's disease and healthy volunteers.
Decoding Death and Dying in People With Dementia by Digital Thanotyping
How can healthcare professionals recognize that a person with dementia is at the end of life? When people are dying, their physical, mental, and social abilities are gradually declining. No reliable method of predicting perceived dying currently exists although the technology is available (sensors, algorithms). The aim of Decoding Death …
Self-compassion and Quality of Life After Dementia Diagnosis
This study aims to investigate whether self-compassion is associated with older adult's quality of life after a diagnosis of dementia, and whether perceived threat posed by dementia mediates this relationship. Self-compassion has been found to be positive in supporting individuals in times of difficulty, in adjustment processes and older adults' …
Digital Phenotyping for Changes in Activity at the End of Life in People With Dementia
Background Almost 90% of people with dementia develop serious symptoms such as apathy, agitation, pain, and sleep disturbances. Movement and participation in daily activities also decrease dramatically over time. Traditional measures for these symptoms are usually in the form of a questionnaire and are not very accurate. Technology, such as …
Dynamic Light Scattering Ocular Measurement in the Detection of Dementia
This is a human clinical study making a noninvasive measurement from a patient's eye to determine whether there is a quantitative difference in measurements between patients with and without the diagnosis of dementia.
Cognition and NeuroImaging in neuroDegenerative Disorders (CogNID)
This prospective study aims: to compare cognitive performance in different clinical groups of participants with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or mild dementia [Alzheimer's Disease (AD), Vascular Cognitive Impairment (VCI) and Fronto-temporal Dementia (FTD)] to determine whether scores reveal differential profiles between the groups, to demonstrate differences in imaging markers between …

Studies of Brain and Body Interaction
The goal of this study is to characterize biophysiolgoical signals as a comprehensive profile of the nervous systems in order to understand interactions between the brain and body, while an individual performs naturalistic behaviors (ex. walking, pointing) and while breathing at a slow controlled pace. The investigators aim to study …
