Research Assistant

• Nov 2014 - Present

The NEIL project (Neuro Enhancement for Independent Lives) was established in 2011 to collect comprehensive data from a large group of older adults to look at factors that may influence cognitive performance and the factors that may contribute to cognitive decline as we get older. The directors of the study include Professor Ian Robertson, Dr. Sabina Brennan and Professor Brian Lawlor alongside Caoimhe Hannigan as the study manager. My role in the project will be to test the older participants by administering psychological tests such as the MMSE and WMS as well as carrying out EEG's. Show less
