The vision I have for my research group is to identify and to optimize sustainable interventional strategies for improved or maintained brain health throughout the lifespan. The mission is to conduct interdisciplinary population-based cognitive neuroscience research that provides unique insights into the neuro-cognitive mechanisms of brain and cognitive aging, with a particular emphasis on novel interventions for neuro-enhancement.
