In September 2022, a cognitive training project aimed at the senior population of Trentino will begin. The project is organized by the research group "Attention, Perception and Aging" of the CIMeC, University of Trento (PI prof. Veronica Mazza), and is co-financed by the Caritro Foundation.
The course, lasting three months, includes several sessions to be held online at home. During each session different exercises will be proposed to train cognitive skills, for example memory and attention. The project is free and open to interested people aged 60-85. During the three months, some meetings will also be organized in presence in Rovereto, where we will talk about cognitive skills in aging from the point of view of cognitive neuroscience, and there will be a chance to have a comparison between research and impact on people’s daily lives.

The meetings will be held on the following dates, the modalities of the meetings will be communicated to the interested parties:

  • 16 September 2022, 5:00 pm
  • 17 October 2022, 4:00 pm (the meeting is reserved to the participants to the training)
