Study Summary

This trial will test a personalized computer-based cognitive program to see if it helps improve performance. The program adjusts difficulty to a person's biofeedback and cognitive performance. Participants will be randomized into two groups.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for people over 60 with mild cognitive impairment, who can read and understand English, have adequate vision and hearing, and are living independently. They should not be severely depressed or have major neurological conditions like Alzheimer's or Parkinson's. Participants must not be in another cognitive study or have serious heart issues.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests a personalized computer-based cognitive training program that adjusts task difficulty based on the participant's biofeedback (heart rate) and performance. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two game versions while their ECG is monitored to keep the group they're in secret.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this intervention involves non-invasive computer-based tasks tailored using biofeedback, significant side effects are not anticipated. However, participants may experience fatigue or frustration during the cognitive tasks.
