Summary
This study tests whether an 8-week internet-based mindfulness program (iMBSR) can improve brain health in adults aged 50 and older who have subjective cognitive decline, a potential early sign of Alzheimer's disease. Sixty participants will be randomly assigned to either the mindfulness program or a lifestyle education control group. Researchers will measure feasibility, brain activity, and blood biomarkers to see if the approach is promising.
