Research Abstract |
Memory-related brain responses were investigated using neurophysiological methods. Working memory function and mismatch brain responses, which relate principle memory function, were analyzed using techniques of evoked potentials and magneto-encephalography(MEG). In the clinical study of elderly patients with dementia, disturbance in time perception and time orientation was recognized in the early stage of dementia. Results of these studies were reported in 8 papers of the international journals.
