Summary
This study is testing whether a series of online brain games (CogniFit) can improve memory, thinking skills, and emotional well-being in healthy older adults and those with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Researchers will compare trained and untrained groups to see if any benefits transfer to everyday life. The trial involves 156 participants aged 65 and older in Spain.
