By: Alvaro Fernandez
Neuroscientists at Columbia University Medical Center (see our previous interview with Yaakov Stern on the Cognitive Reserve) have asked for help in recruiting volunteers for an exciting clinical trial. If you are based in New York City, and between the ages of 60 and 75, please consider joining this study.

Use it or Lose it?
Train your Brain! Healthy adults between the ages of 60 and 75 living in NYC are invited to join a study of mental fitness training. Qualified individuals will play a scientifically-based video game in our laboratory, and will be tested to determine the effects on attention, memory, and cognitive performance.
You will earn up to $600 plus transportation costs if you complete the 3-month program.
This exciting study is being performed by the Cognitive Neuroscience Division of the Sergievsky Center at Columbia University Medical Center.

Some clinical trial in Chicago?
Hello Mike, I don’t know of any ongoing cognitive trial in Chicago, but that’s the type of question we want to help address with the list/ directory. We will be announcing details shortly.
I am 61 years old and would like to be notified of any clinical trials
being held in the California SF Bay area.
Thank you,
Gilbert

I would be very interested in participating in any studies/research of the aging brain in the Seattle/Tacoma WA area.
Thank you.
I am 47, and would be delighted to participate in trials in Cleveland. Never too early to protect our brains!

Hello Nisha, just contacted the coordinators, who confirmed the ages are 60 to 75.
