This is your ProI am interested in working memory in younger and older adults and the methods which can be used to enhance memory and cognition.  Research has shown that visual behavior can temporarily improve short-term memory and recall abilities in both younger and older adults. The theories behind this memory enhancement are currently unclear and require further research to fully understand this effect. My research aims to further investigate methods of memory enhancement and with the use of brain activity monitoring techniques investigate the mechanisms which lead to memory enhancement after bilateral eye movements. Further, I will apply established methods of memory and cognition enhancement to patients with mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer’s disease to investigate whether these methods of enhancement can be of benefit to these patient groups.ject description.
