Alzheimers Dement
December 2024
University of Tennessee, Knoxville, TN, USA.
Background: To address the rapid increase in the number of persons with Alzheimer's disease or related dementia (PwADRD), we seek to combine the benefits of music intervention with the adaptability of social robotics. Our system, the Music intervention Using Socially Engaging robotics (MUSE) system, seeks to provide a structured music intervention session to a group of PwADRD using the social robot Pepper. As seen in Figure 1, the Pepper robot leads the PwADRD through a 3-step music intervention session.

Alzheimers Dement
December 2024
University of Minnesota Duluth, Duluth, MN, USA.
Background: Regulated breathing is increasingly recognized as a vital component in enhancing cognition. Scientific studies suggest that intentional and controlled breathing techniques, such as deep and rhythmic breathing, can promote relaxation, reduce stress, and improve oxygen flow to the brain [1, 2]. Consequently, this may contribute to heightened cognitive function, better concentration, and increased mental clarity, accentuating the importance of incorporating mindful breathing practices as a potential avenue for cognitive improvement [3].
