Measuring Visual Abilities and Electrical Signals in the Brain for Early Detection of Alzheimer’s Disease
Thursday, October 10, 2024, 12-1 PM EST
Summary:
Presented by Dr. Eugenie Roudaia, this webinar will explore how vision and visual perception changes with aging and in the presence of mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer’s disease. Dr. Roudaia will discuss how we can use vision-based tasks and the brain’s electrical signals to detect Alzheimer’s disease earlier, and predict future cognitive health for individuals experiencing cognitive decline.
Dr. Roudaia will introduce an observational study, for which she is principal investigator, Bright Spark: Measuring Brain Activity to Predict Cognitive Health in MCI & Alzheimer’s Disease

Eugenie Roudaia, PhD
Eugenie Roudaia, PhD
Dr. Eugenie Roudaia is a Scientific Associate at Rotman Research Institute at Baycrest Academy for Research and Education, where she co-leads the VisAge laboratory with Dr. Allison Sekuler. She earned her PhD from McMaster University in Psychology. The aims of her research are to better understand how vision changes in healthy and abnormal aging, finding new ways to monitor brain health with age, and identifying how we can improve mental and perceptual abilities in older adults.
This webinar is presented in partnership with the Toronto Dementia Research Alliance
