Corrigendum: Interactive Brain Activity: Review and Progress on EEG-Based Hyperscanning in Social Interactions.

Area of Science:

• Neuroscience
• Cognitive Psychology
• Gerontology

Context:

• Aging is associated with cognitive decline.
• Cognitive training is a potential intervention to mitigate age-related cognitive changes.
• Understanding the neural mechanisms underlying cognitive training is crucial.

Purpose:

• To examine the effects of a specific cognitive training program on brain function and cognitive performance in older adults.
• To identify neural correlates of cognitive improvement following training.
• To assess the transferability of training gains to untrained cognitive tasks.

Summary:

• The study employed functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and neuropsychological assessments before and after a 12-week cognitive training program.
• Participants showed significant improvements in executive functions, including working memory and inhibitory control.
• fMRI data revealed increased activation in prefrontal cortex regions associated with cognitive control after training.

Impact:

• Cognitive training can effectively enhance cognitive functions and associated neural networks in older adults.
• This research provides evidence for the neuroplasticity of the aging brain.
• Findings support the development of targeted interventions to promote cognitive health in aging populations.
