Background: Patterns of human movement evolve as an individual experiences the progression from cognitively intact (CIN) to mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and finally dementia and Alzheimer's Disease (AD). Quantification of movement with the goal of identifying MCI though step counts alone do not take into consideration the floor layout of a home. Cyclomatic complexity is an approach to normalizing differences in the individual's living space to better predict the transition from CIN to MCI.

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].
