Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) and diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS) are two established techniques which allow monitoring brain health non-invasively. With the foundation of our seminal NIRS-DCS work on neonates, we are developing novel devices and approaches to better quantify cerebral blood oxygenation, cerebral blood flow and oxygen metabolism in the clinical setting both in children and adults. In particular, in the last few years we have made substantial progress on D...

Disorders of gait and cognition are central to many age related conditions and diseases. While there are medications available to treat some of these disorders, they have significant side effects and limited effectiveness. A better understanding of the inter-relationship between motor and cognitive function in aging may help guide the development of new therapeutic approaches for conditions such as frailty, mobility disability and dementia. In this talk, I will discuss non-pharmacological ...

Join us to learn about the multidisciplinary research taking place at the PERFORM Centre from Concordia’s top scientists. The student scientific event subcommittee conducted individual interviews with several PERFORM researchers to learn about their research and academic journey. The interviews will be streamed during the event and will be followed by Q&A session with the researchers to answer any question you may have. We are looking forward to having you!
