QUEENS COLLEGE

Here at Queens College, we are in the beginning stages of a new study that will also use fMRI to determine the effects of CCT on mood, cognition, and brain function in depressed young adults... The lab is currently conducting several CCT studies. With our colleagues at Columbia University (Dr. Dev Devanand) and Duke University (Dr. Doraiswamy), we are investigating the impact of CCT on older adults with mild cognitive impairment using functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI)... The focus of the Brain Performance Lab is the use of brain training (internet-based games focusing on specific cognitive functions) across a variety of psychiatric disorders in which executive dysfunction exists including depression (across the lifespan), ADHD, and cognitive impairment in late-life. In the Fall of 2016, we will begin a 5-year NIA-funded project using Lumosity's brain training platform for older adults with mild cognitive impairment. We are also conducting a study using Peak's mobile brain..
