AI and Aging – Dr. Nárlon C. Boa Sorte Silva – Promoting Brain Health Via Active Aging from Mid-file to Older Adulthood

In this presentation, Dr. Nárlon C. Boa Sorte Silva will provide an overview of his research on exercise and brain health in aging individuals across the cognitive decline spectrum. Dr. Silva will further highlight existing knowledge gaps and outline future research directions in dementia prevention through physical activity and exercise interventions. He will also discuss the application of machine learning techniques to neuroimaging data for risk stratification and modeling of neurodegenerative diseases in older individuals, emphasizing the potential of lifestyle interventions targeted at high-risk populations.

About the AI and Aging event series

As AI becomes an ever-present part of our lives and media systems we are left with questions on how we age alongside this technology. A history of critical gerontechnology tells us of the roles of ageism within technology, and this working group examines how similar arguments apply (or differ) to emerging AI tools. The goal is to dispel myths and presuppositions to foster interdisciplinary research that is more than a bringing together of disciplines. Together these rapid research talks provide space to explore how aging and AI intersect in various domains so we can create meaningful research responses.

This event is hybrid, in-person at engAGE Centre for Research on Aging and online. Please email Eric at engage@concordia.ca if you like the online meeting link.
