Trial ID: NCT03883308

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to integrate advanced computational techniques and multimodal neuroimaging methods to examine the potential effects of long-term, multi-domain, online, computerized cognitive training on large-scale structural and functional brain networks in older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI).
