We view our participants as partners in discovery. Understanding what happens during a research visit helps make the process clear and predictable. We want your experience to be comfortable and meaningful from start to finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you join us, you complete a yearly check-up that tracks your memory and physical health. These regular reviews are vital because they allow our specialists to build a personal profile of your health. We look at how everyday functioning, like your lifestyle and health status, might influence your brain as you age.\u202f <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scheduling a Time That Works for You\u202f<\/div><\/path><\/svg><\/summary>

The first step is finding a day for your visit that works best for both you and your study partner. Your comfort is our priority, and we want to make sure you feel rested and ready. Because the visit involves spending most of the day with us, we offer transportation to and from your appointment, if you need it. We will also send you a friendly reminder in the days leading up to your visit to help you prepare.\u202f<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/details>\n\n\n\n

Before any part of the research begins, we will sit down with you and your study partner to go over the Informed Consent process. This is not just a form to sign; it is a dedicated time for us to talk about exactly what will happen during your visits.\u202fOur team will explain the goals of the research, the types of tests we perform, and how we protect your private information. We want to make sure you have all the information you need to feel comfortable. This is the perfect time to ask any questions you might have. No question is too small.\u202f<\/p>\n\n\n\n
