Online Interplay Between Deciding and Acting With Mild Cognitive Impairment
Sponsor: University of Delaware
This study is watching how people with mild cognitive impairment make decisions and move their arms at the same time — specifically how quickly the brain coordinates deciding and acting. Researchers are tracking reaching movements to find early biological markers of cognitive decline. This is a Phase NA study, meaning it is observational research, not a drug or treatment trial. No intervention is being tested for effectiveness.
