Brain Behav

March 2016

Department of Functional Brain Imaging Institute of Development, Aging and Cancer Tohoku University Sendai 980-8575 Japan; Smart Ageing International Research Center Institute of Development, Aging and Cancer Tohoku University Sendai 980-8575 Japan; Division of Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience Institute of Development, Aging and Cancer Tohoku University Sendai 980-8575 Japan.

Introduction: Brain-imaging techniques have begun to be popular in evaluating the effectiveness of cognitive intervention training. Although gamma activities are rarely used as an index of training effects, they have several characteristics that suggest their potential suitability for this purpose. This pilot study examined whether cognitive training in elderly people affected the high-gamma activity associated with attentional processing and whether high-gamma power changes were related to changes in behavioral performance.
