Neural signatures of dual-task walking demands in individuals at risk of cognitive impairment (opens in new tab)

Difficulties in complex daily activities are a hallmark of dementia syndromes. We examined neural signatures of complex daily activity using electroencephalography in forty-five older adults performing a dual-task walking paradigm. Participants were stratified by risk of cognitive impairment (CI). Brain activation linked to gait-related and cognitive events was recorded during single- and dual-task conditions. We hypothesized that a higher risk of CI is associated with poorer performance and ...
