Brain training using cognitive apps can improve cognitive performance and processing speed in older adults

Abstract Managing age-related decrease of cognitive function is an important public health challenge, especially in the context of the global aging of the population. Over the last years several Cognitive Mobile Games (CMG) have been developed to train and challenge the brain. However, currently the...
