Five themes, one common thread.

The themes connect questions about cognition, biomarkers, development, aging and neurotechnology, bringing together different methods and fields of knowledge.

Theme 1

Cognitive monitoring across the lifespan

Investigating cognitive performance and how it changes across the lifespan through neuropsychological assessment, digital methods and longitudinal studies.

Cognitive assessment Neuropsychology Longitudinal studies
Theme 2

Biomarkers and brain health risk stratification

Investigating associations between biological measures, cognition and clinical conditions. Using biomarkers in research does not mean that a diagnostic test is offered.

Theme 3

Neurodevelopment and mental health

Studying cognitive and behavioral characteristics during development, including ADHD and autism spectrum disorder, with attention to diverse profiles and needs.

ADHD · ASD Childhood cognition Neurodiversity
Theme 4

Aging, frailty and dementias

Investigating relationships between aging, frailty, cognitive performance and biomarkers, while also considering clinical and social context.

Cognitive aging MCI · Alzheimer’s disease Geriatrics
Theme 5

Responsible neurotechnology and implementation in Brazil’s Unified Health System (SUS)

Studying data analysis methods and the responsible development of neurotechnologies, considering interpretability, equity, privacy and public health applications.

Explainable AI Privacy and equity
Why integration matters

Different methods, shared questions.

Integrating cognitive assessment, molecular investigation and neuroimaging makes it possible to examine complementary questions. Each study defines its methods, population and the limits of interpretation of its results.
