OUR MISSION
We study healthy aging processes in terms of cognitive control, multi-tasking, and motor performance.
Fields of study
We are interested in learning more about ways in which older adults utilize strategies or neural circuits to maintain or even increase levels of performance in the domains of cognition and motor skills. Our work serves to inform other fields such as Geriatrics, Physical and Occupational Therapy.
Current projects
There are three major themes in our research:
1. Attentional processes and working memory
2. Sensory-motor and cognitive interactions
3. Effects of cognitive and physical fitness training
Seeking research participants
We primarily test community-dwelling older adults aged 60 to 85 years who are able to visit our research facilities at the Loyola campus of Concordia University. Participants can take part in single or multiple sessions (depending on the study), with each appointment lasting from 1.5 to 3 hours.
Interested in being a part of the Li Lab? For the next academic year we are looking for students interested in:
- Cognitive-motor interactions in healthy aging
- Inhibitory processes in multi-task performance
- Hearing loss and mobility
Interested? Email a letter describing your research interests and experience, your C.V and an electronic copy of your transcript to Karen Li.
Please note that Dr. Li will not be accepting any new Graduate or Postdoctoral students for the upcoming year.
