How the brain transforms memories (computer & MRI study)
This study looks at how your brain changes and stores memories over time. You'll do a daily computer task for 30 minutes and may have an MRI scan. The goal is to learn more about memory in healthy aging.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older (80 spots are for people 60+).
- You have no major memory problems—a short test at the start will check this.
- You have never had a stroke, brain tumor, head injury, or a disease like Alzheimer's.
- You can use both index and middle fingers to type and respond to things on a screen for 30 minutes a day.
- You do not have metal in your head or neck, and you are okay having an MRI (no claustrophobia, no implanted devices).

This trial tests a computer-based training program to help improve memory in older adults, whether they are healthy, have memory complaints, or have mild cognitive impairment. It aims to find strategies that might keep your mind sharp as you age.
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.
This study tests whether a computer-based thinking exercise program can improve memory and brain function in older adults with mild memory concerns. If you have age-related memory changes but not dementia, you may be able to join and get a free MRI scan.
This study tests a computer-based brain-training program designed to improve memory and thinking skills in older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). It aims to see if these exercises can help keep the brain healthy and slow down memory decline.
This study tests different amounts of online cognitive training to see if it can improve memory and thinking in older adults with mild cognitive decline. You would do brain exercises from home and be part of a research program that may help slow down age-related changes.
This study looks at how thinking and learning processes change with age, especially around deciding what to trust. You may be asked to complete computer tasks and brief memory/thinking tests to understand these changes.
