Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Over the course of his career Raja used a variety of techniques ranging from behavioral studies, signal detection theory, electrophysiology, fMRI, and genetic analysis to contribute to different disciplines including human factors, cognitive neuroscience, and the intersection of the two in his founding of the field of neuroergonomics. Some of Raja's contributions in this area include work examining age-related changes in visuospatial processing and working memory, the role of the genetics of apolipoprotein E (APOE) in cognitive aging, in particular in Alzheimer's disease, and methods for supporting healthy cognitive aging. [...]observing evidence refuting the existence of compensation, Harwood et al. in a cerebral blood flow study found that healthy older people showed greater left than right hemisphere activation during a vigilance task but still performed at a significantly lower level of vigilance compared to young adults. [...]the observed anticorrelation was associated with better behavioral performance. [...]Avelar-Pereira et al. found that human cerebral blood flow affected the integrity of brain function, consistent with previous human and animal work on aerobic exercise and brain plasticity (Pereira et al., 2007; Maass et al., 2015).
