Qualified participants include four groups: healthy older adults with no memory problems, persons with mild memory problems, persons with moderate memory problems, and those with early Alzheimer’s disease. The study is conducted in cooperation with the Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative supported by the National Institute of Health and the Alzheimer’s Association.
