The learning task requires participants to respond with keypresses on a standard computer keyboard of visual targets. Participants will implicitly (without being made aware) learn sequential regularities provided through the recurring order of cued keys contrasted with random keys. Participants will practice the learning task remotely over consecutive days until a stable performance plateau is reached. During this phase, data will be collected online, and behavioral change will be monitored in real time. Then participants will undergo the behavioral interference intervention, in which the initially learned sequence memory will be perturbed through (implicit) exposure to new sequential information (i.e., interference).",[9],[21],{"name":22,"affiliation":5,"role":23},"Kirstin-Friederike Heise, PhD","PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR",[25],{"name":26,"role":27,"phone":28,"phoneExt":10,"email":29},"Principal Investigator","CONTACT","(843)792-3435","heisek@musc.edu",{"type":23,"investigatorFullName":31,"investigatorTitle":32,"investigatorAffiliation":5,"oldNameTitle":10,"oldOrganization":10},"Kirstin-Friederike Heise","Assistant Professor-Faculty",[34],{"name":35,"class":36},"National Institutes of Health (NIH)","NIH","100582385","neural-representations-of-memory-transformation-memtrans-100582385",false,"NCT06862622","Neural Representations of Memory Transformation (MEM_TRANS)","Task-based Synchronous Electroencephalography and Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (EEG-fMRI) to Explore Neural Representations of Memory Maintenance in the Aging Brain.","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Age 18 years or older (80 of the final sample will be ≥60years of age)\n* Cognitively unimpaired, ambiguous, or mildly impaired cognitive function, defined as a score of ≥18 in the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA).\n* No previous stroke, brain tumor, neurodegenerative disease, or trauma to the head\n* Ability to give consent for study participation\n* Ability to perform a computer task requiring responding to visual cues and typing on a standard computer keyboard with both index and middle fingers for 30 minutes daily.\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Inability to use both index and middle fingers to type on a standard computer keyboard\n* Dementia defined as a score of \\\u003C18 in the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA)\n* Uncorrected vision, hindering perception of visual cues presented on a standard computer screen\n* Medication use at the time of study that may interfere with learning, including but not limited to carbamazepine, flunarizine, sulpiride, rivastigmine, and dextromethorphan.\n* Neuromuscular disorders that affect fine motor control of the hands.\n* Presence of neurological or psychiatric disorders\n* Presence of scalp injury or disease\n* Prior intracranial surgery\n* Prior brain radiotherapy\n* Prior history of intracranial tumor, intracranial infection, or cerebrovascular malformation\n* Metal in the head or neck\n* Contraindications to MRI (such as severe claustrophobia, implanted medical devices)",true,"ALL","18 Years",{"count":48,"type":49},40,"ESTIMATED","OBSERVATIONAL","Investigators overarching goal is to provide evidence for the link between altered spatiotemporal (where and when) neural mechanisms and the extent of changed memory maintenance in healthy older adults and to identify potential neural markers of compensatory function (cognitive resource). Investigators preliminary studies suggest that healthy older adults, compared to younger adults, benefit behaviorally from increased coupling between frontal and parietal brain waves when retrieving and updating well-consolidated visuomotor sequence memory via stronger top-down cognitive control of memory maintenance. Thus, Investigators central hypothesis is that the dynamics across cortical and subcortical regions (i.e., spatiotemporal representations) during transitions between different levels of memory stability indicate the efficiency of memory maintenance. The rationale is that while temporal and spatial neural signatures carry distinct mechanistic information, the joint definition of spatial and temporal representations will allow the differentiation of compensatory versus neurodegenerative mechanisms.",[53],"Healthy Older Adults",[55,56,57,58,59],"Aging","Healthy Volunteer Studies","memory","fMRI","EEG","NOT_YET_RECRUITING","2026-06-21",{"date":63,"type":64},"2026-06-24","ACTUAL",{"date":66,"type":49},"2026-08-01",{"date":68,"type":49},"2026-09-30",{"name":5,"class":6}]
