4PM - 5PM ET (1-2pm PT)
From puzzles to Playstations, games have entertained us for generations. Today, research shows that gaming may actually help us live longer and optimize the brain function of both healthy and impaired individuals. Innovative neuroscientists and game designers are also exploring games as a tool to diagnose and treat neurological and brain disorders.
In the latest talk in our Live Better Longer series, Prevention’s Editor-in-Chief Sarah Smith will be joined by two experts who are leading the exploration of gaming, cognition, and healthy aging.
Adam Gazzaley, MD, PhD, is a neuroscientist, neurologist, inventor, author, photographer, entrepreneur and investor. At the University of California, San Francisco, he is the David Dolby Distinguished Professor of Neurology, Physiology, and Psychiatry and founder and executive director of Neuroscape, a translational neuroscience center bridging the gap between neuroscience and technology. He hosted the popular PBS special, The Distracted Mind with Dr. Adam Gazzaley, and is a two-time AFAR grantee.
Craig Stark, PhD, is a Professor, Neurobiology and Behavior School of Biological Sciences at the University of California Irvine, James L. McGaugh Chair in Neurobiology of Learning & Memory, Director, Campus Center for NeuroImaging (CCNI) and Director, Facility for Imaging and Brain Research (FIBRE). The Stark Memory Research Group is interested in the mechanisms that underlie memory, and he has published research on the impact of 3D video games and memory formation.
