Combining walking with a demanding cognitive task is traditionally expected to elicit
decrements in gait and/or cognitive task performance. However, it was recently shown that …

Introduction In young adults, pairing a cognitive task with walking can have different effects
on gait and cognitive task performance. In some cases, performance clearly declines …

Aging is associated with reduced abilities to selectively allocate attention across multiple
domains. This may be particularly problematic during everyday multitasking situations when …

The processing of sensory information and the generation of motor commands needed to
produce coordinated actions can interfere with ongoing cognitive tasks. Even simple motor …

Walking while simultaneously performing cognitively demanding tasks such as talking or
texting are typical complex behaviors in our daily routines. Little is known about neural …

A prominent trend in the functional brain imaging literature is that older adults exhibit
increased brain activity compared to young adults to perform a given task. This phenomenon …

This study elucidates the neural mechanisms underlying increasing cognitive load while
walking by employing 2 versions of a response inhibition task, the '1-back'version and the …

Assessment of everyday activities is central to the diagnosis of dementia. Yet, little is known
about brain processes associated with everyday functional limitations, particularly during …

A substantial corpus of evidence suggests that the cognitive involvement in postural control
and gait increases with aging. A large portion of such studies were based on dual-task …

Recent developments in mobile brain-body imaging (MoBI) technologies have enabled
studies of human locomotion where subjects are able to move freely in more ecologically …
