Teresa is interested in neural mechanisms underlying cognition in aging and age-related neurodegenerative diseases (e.g., mild cognitive impairment, Alzheimer’s Disease and related dementias). Her goal is to study how neural oscillations captured by electroencephalography (EEG) techniques change in aging and mild cognitive impairment. They are interested in risk and protective lifestyle factors that contribute towards cognitive decline, in hopes of enhancing or maintaining cognitive function and brain health in older adults.
