| Research Abstract |
I established the methodology in the use of both hardware and software to investigate brain activity of older adults while minimizing load. To identify age-related difference, I compare healthy young subjects with healthy older subjects. Comparison results revealed that the special extent of the resting state cortical network in older adults was limited compared to that of younger subjects.
