Effects of Cognitive Intervention on Cognition, Mobility and Brain Electrocortical Activity

Holistic Approach for Active and Healthy Aging: Physical and Cognitive Activity, and Nutrition

Within this project the investigators tested the effectiveness of 2-month of computerized cognitive training (CCT) on CogniFit online platform on 77 older adults, which were randomly divided into intervention and control group. The investigators tested close (battery of cognitive functions) and far transfer (postural and mobility control, EEG, blood samples) of the CCT. Additionally, the investigators were interested into seeing a long-lasting effect, therefore participants were brought back to the laboratory 1 year post CCT.
