We are now in the process of analyzing the data.<\/p>\n<p><b>Part 2<\/b>\u2013 Ongoing:\u00a0 In order to gain more information about the progression from Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) to dementia researchers in the lab designed a study to follow up on our B.E.R.R.Y. participants.\u00a0 These participants will be coming back into the lab for one visit where they will participate in some of the same assessments they completed during Part 1 of the study.\u00a0 Electrophysiological techniques and the CANTAB have shown promise in the diagnosis and prediction of MCI. We will compare the new data to the data collected one, two, or three years ago. In June, we began bringing our BERRY participants back in to the lab for this exciting follow-up.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>B.E.R.R.Y.
