Area Of Science
- Gerontology
- Artificial Intelligence
- Cognitive Science
Background
- Recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) have spurred new applications.
- Investigated the use of a music-generative AI (Music Trinity Generative Algorithm-Human Refined [MusicTGA-HR]) in online meetings for older adults.
Purpose Of The Study
- To assess the effectiveness of an online intervention using music-generative AI for cognitively normal older adults.
- To evaluate the impact of MusicTGA-HR on cognitive functions in the elderly population.
Main Methods
- 118 community-dwelling, cognitively normal older adults participated.
- Participants engaged in weekly online meetings for 6 months, using MusicTGA-HR to select and discuss music.
- Neuropsychological assessments were conducted pre- and post-intervention.
Main Results
- Significant improvements were observed in category and letter word fluencies (p=.003, p=.036).
- Trail-Making Test-B completion time significantly decreased (p=.039).
- An online cognitive test showed significant memory improvement in number recall (p<.001).
Conclusions
- Online meetings utilizing music-generative AI can enhance cognitive functions in independent, normal older adults.
- The intervention positively impacted frontal lobe function and memory in the elderly participants.

Cognitive development continues throughout adulthood, undergoing significant shifts across early, middle, and late stages. Individual transition occurs from adolescent idealism to pragmatic and adaptable thinking in early adulthood. During this period, individuals learn to integrate personal beliefs with the recognition that other perspectives are equally valid. Exposure to the complexities of modern society, diverse experiences, and higher education contribute to this adaptive thought process,...
Language is a system of communication that allows the expression of thoughts, ideas, and feelings. The brain processes language in both hemispheres.
Language formation and comprehension take place in the dominant hemisphere. The dominant hemisphere is responsible for understanding the meaning of spoken, written, or sign language, as well as the ability to communicate. For most people, the left hemisphere is the dominant one. The right hemisphere, then, gives tone and emotional context to the...
