Development of the PART software platform to measure and train cognition, supporting research on cognitive aging and early biomarkers of Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias, with customizable measures for diverse populations.
Description
This project supports the development of open science tools to measure and train cognition, led by Research Software Engineer Katherine Acevedo. The work involves creating the Portable Rapid Testing (PART) software platform, which includes over 100 measures addressing hearing, vision, cognitive control, and decision-making. The platform is highly configurable to adapt to diverse populations and facilitate open science and platform sharing.
