Professor Susanne Jaeggi, Postdoctoral Fellow Jacky Au and Assistant Professor of Psychiatry & Human Behavior Brice Mander received a $25K grant from the inaugural UCI Center for the Neurobiology of Learning and Memory (CNLM) High Risk, High Reward Pilot Awards. The team’s project, “Learning while you rest: promoting memory consolidation with audio-visual stimulation,” leverages recent advances in noninvasive stimulation to present gentle, rhythmic lights and sounds to increase low-frequency brain activity. This type of stimulation has been shown to promote memory consolidation. The team’s research goal is to develop a simple, portable and scalable tool that can facilitate learning and memory, while potentially slowing down age-related memory decline.
The CNLM High Risk, High Reward Pilot grants support interdisciplinary, collaborative, early stage, and proof-of-concept research that advances our understanding of the brain mechanisms of learning, memory, and memory-related disorders. The program is supported with donations from the CNLM’s philanthropic community, led by Dr. Diane Silber and her late husband, Dr. Igal Silber.
