  • Cognitive health promotion activities

    10/12/22

    The problem of population aging is becoming increasingly prominent in the world, and the physical and mental health problems of the elderly are easy to be ignored. In order to popularize the knowledge of elderly cognitive health status and cognitive test, our lab held a cognitive health popularization activity with the theme of "Pay attention to cognitive health, protect the dignity of life" in the Macao Artificial Intelligence Education Promotion Association, so that elderly people can better understand and understand some cognitive problems that we may face with the growth of age. To a certain extent, it can improve the elderly's attention to their own cognitive health.

    In this activity, we combined with an experimental study conducted by our research group at the present stage to investigate the neural mechanisms and influencing factors of cognitive and language function in the elderly, introduced cognitive state detection methods such as magnetic resonance and cognitive testing, and tried to explore effective means to delay cognitive aging from the perspective of language learning and language training.

    The activity was successfully held and achieved good results and feedback.
