Description of the project:

This Action brought together leading researchers from a wide range of scientific disciplines with the major aim to develop of a comprehensive and internationally agreed-on assessment toolkit for older adults targeting the various subtypes of dementia and various aspects of pain, including pain diagnostics, cognitive examination and guidelines for proper assessment. The collaboration will have as an end product a clinical bedside tool for pain assessment in patients with dementia and cognitive impairments (PAIC). The PAIC tool is aimed to be adapted and validated for use across Europe in order to facilitate common research and to be used in clinical/health care settings.

Description of the project:

 Collaboration of Aphasia Trialists (CATs) is an international network of multidisciplinary aphasia investigators in rehabilitation, social science, psychology and linguistics research from across more than 50 countries. CATs aims to enhance aphasia research knowledge, skills, methodologies and infrastructure. This network of researchers increases the availability and validity of multilingual assessments and outcome measures relating to aphasia. It will have as one of the end products a tool (a battery of tests) for aphasia assessment adapted and validated for use across Europe in various languages and cultures.

Description of the project:

The project sets to explore the neural underpinnings of consciousness through large scale muliticenter studies that focus on collecting MRI data alongsied wide spectrum of behavioural outcomes to build predictive models for normal and pathological cognitive functioning. The colleboration is organized in seven groups: WG1 Neuroarchitectural mapping, WG2 Statistical methods, WG3 – Conscious perception, WG4 Metacognition, WG5 Consciousness, learning, and memory, WG6 – Clinical measures of consciousness, and WG7 – Large-scale data collection – coorinating large sacle data collection sites in Aarhus (Denmark), Krakow (Poland), Brno (Czech Republic), Chiba (Japan) and Cardiff (UK).

From brain waves to memory boost: Memory enhancement by personalized frequency-modulated noninvasive brain stimulation

Project collaborators:

Jovana Bjekić, Saša R. Filipović, Dunja Paunović, Katarina Vulić, Uroš Konstantinović, Marija Stanković

Project number: 6058808

Duration of the project: 15. 07. 2020 – 14. 10. 2022

Leading Institution:

Institute for Medical Research, University of Belgrade, Serbia

Description of the project:

This project seeks to enhance the impact of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on memory by personalizing and optimizing the stimulation protocol for the parieto-hippocampal neural network. The project proposes an electrode positioning method that targets associative memory, a crucial function for remembering connected information. Unfortunately, associative memory deteriorates with age and is compromised in individuals with neurodegenerative conditions. The project also developed new frequency-modulated protocols and assessed their neurophysiological and behavioral effects. To further enhance the efficacy of the stimulation, the protocol was personalized to the individual theta rhythm. Theta rhythm is a neurophysiological marker of memory that appears in the electroencephalographic record when individuals attempt to remember or recall something. This project’s goal is to improve memory outcomes through customized and optimized tDCS protocols for the parieto-hippocampal neural network.
