Understanding how our brain experiences time
This study uses brain scans and simple tasks to explore how young and older adults perceive time. It aims to uncover the mental and brain processes behind our sense of time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This extension study looks for predictors—measurable clues—linked to memory changes in older adults who feel their memory is worsening. You may be asked to have an amyloid PET scan, which can help researchers understand what might be driving memory concerns.
This study looks at how “slower movement” and brain changes relate to memory and thinking problems in people with early dementia (and some related conditions). It may help researchers understand what brain differences go with these symptoms, using tests and an MRI scan.
This study uses a special MRI scan to look at the brain's memory center in people with early memory concerns. It aims to better understand changes that happen in the very early stages of Alzheimer's disease.
This study looks at how brain waves (EEG) change during normal aging and early Alzheimer's disease. It compares three groups: people with early-stage Alzheimer's, healthy older adults, and healthy young adults. The goal is to understand how memory and thinking problems relate to slow brain wave activity.
This research uses brain imaging scans to study how a chemical messenger in the brain (called noradrenaline) changes as people age and in Parkinson's disease. The goal is to better understand how this brain system works and may help develop future treatments.
This study uses brain scans to understand how older adults (65-80) and younger adults (18-30) learn and generalize information. It may help explain memory changes with age.
