Physical activity (PA) is widely recognized as protective against mental distress, yet whether this benefit varies systematically across population subgroups remains poorly understood. Using pooled data from ten consecutive annual waves of…
Children with ADHD often struggle with executive function (EF) and motor skills, impacting their academics and social life. While medications are commonly used, they have side effects, leading to interest in non-drug treatments. Physical…
The 24-hour activity cycle (24HAC) is a new paradigm for studying activity behaviors in relation to health outcomes. This approach captures the interrelatedness of the daily time spent in physical activity (PA), sedentary behavior (SB), and…
Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) is a serious condition that can be an early warning sign of heart disease and Type 2 diabetes. MetS is characterized by having elevated levels of blood pressure, cholesterol, waist circumference, and fasting…
Because of permanent use-dependent brain plasticity, all lifelong individuals' experiences are believed to influence the cognitive aging quality. In older individuals, both former and current musical practices have been associated with…
Objectives: To examine sex differences in the associations between vascular risk factors and 6-year changes in the volume of white matter hyperintensities (WMH), and between changes in WMH volumes and changes in cognitive performance, in a…
Background The incidence of stroke places a heavy burden on both society and individuals. Activity is closely related to cardiovascular health. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the varying domains of PA, like…
The seamless integration of visual and auditory information is a fundamental aspect of human cognition. Although age-related functional changes in Audio-Visual Integration (AVI) have been extensively explored in the past, thorough studies…
Objective: We aimed to determine the relationship between day-to-day sleep efficiency variability and cognitive function among older adults using accelerometer data and three cognitive tests. Methods: Older adults aged 65+ with 5 days of…
The vast majority of fMRI studies of task-related brain activity utilize common levels of task demands and analyses that rely on the central tendencies of the data. This approach does not take into account perceived difficulty nor regional…
Dementia affects over 55 million people worldwide, yet whether distinct domains of physical fitness independently protect against neurodegeneration through shared or divergent biological mechanisms remains unknown. Using the UK Biobank (n =…
In cognitive network neuroscience, the connectivity and community structure of the brain network is related to cognition. Much of this research has focused on two measures of connectivity - modularity and flexibility - which frequently have…
IoT-based devices and wearable sensors are now common in daily life, with smartwatches, smartphones, and other digital tools tracking physical activity and health data. This lifelogging process provides valuable insights into people's…
Objective: This research aims to develop a lifestyle intervention system, called MoveSense, that forecasts a patient's activity behavior to allow for early and personalized interventions in real-world clinical environments. Methods: We…
Timely implementation of interventions to slow cognitive decline among older adults requires accurate monitoring to detect changes in cognitive function. Data gathered using wearable devices that can continuously monitor factors known to be…
We propose a novel active learning framework for activity recognition using wearable sensors. Our work is unique in that it takes physical and cognitive limitations of the oracle into account when selecting sensor data to be annotated by…
Automated online and App-based cognitive assessment tasks are becoming increasingly popular in large-scale cohorts and biobanks due to advantages in affordability, scalability and repeatability. However, the summary scores that such tasks…
Human learning is a complex process in which future behavior is altered via the reorganization of brain activity and connectivity. It remains unknown whether activity and connectivity differentially reorganize during learning, and, if so,…
Simulation-based training is an effective tool for acquiring practical skills, specifically to train new surgeons in a controlled and hazard-free environment, it is however important to measure participants cognitive load to decide whether…
Spontaneous fluctuations of the BOLD (Blood Oxygen Level-Dependent) signal, measured with fMRI (functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging), display a rich and neurobiologically relevant functional connectivity structure. This structure is…
