Promoting Cognitive Health & Well-Being Across the Lifespan - Susanne Jaeggi, PhD & Aaron Seitz, PhD

Love it guys. Please continue to update us with your research.

There seems to be some interesting literature on leveraging the vestibular system, ultra short closed-eye rest periods, and high intensity exercise to enhance neuroplasticity. There seem to be many tools that can potentially improve training progress and possibly transfer: brainwave entrainment, HDtDCS, paired associative rTMS, transcranial photobiomodulation, EEG neurofeedback, and natural/safe peptide or flavonoid-based(or not really, just that most truly effective pharmaceuticals seem to be in clinical trials/dropped or simply not as available) cognitive enhancers. It will be interesting to see how training outcomes improve with the implementation of any of these potential methods, since rehab studies tend to show the highest degree of improvement through the convergence of training AND more medical techniques. My current opinion is that the use of such methods to enhance training effect size will allow researchers to more quickly and effectively determine the true extent of task-specific improvement as well as far transfer. I suppose there is real difficulty in finding enough participants willing to train for long periods of time.

This was such an insightful talk!
