While a large body of literature has found that exercise enhances cognition, very few studies have coupled physical and cognitive activity in a VR environment, simultaneously. Controlled, cognitively-challenging environments created in a VR setting provide an adaptable and safe environment for improving cognitive dysfunction in older adults at risk for AD.
The goal of this novel study is to build upon principles from neuroscience to understand how simultaneous brain and body interventions can regenerate the human brain.
