Timing is everything, a phrase, I’m sure that you have heard a million
times. But what you likely don’t think about when you hear this phrase
is how fundamental timing is to everything that we do as humans, both
spectacular and simple.
Precise timing is responsible for a stellar athletic performance, a group
of musicians making a perfect melody, or it can even be the key to a
funny punch line. Timing is responsible for the synchronous communication
of our brains’ network system that connects cognitive processes and physical
movement. Therefore the ability to have accurate Neurotiming® is one
of the most critical factors in human performance.
The purpose of this study, published in the Jornal of Neurology and Neuroscience, was to measure the effectiveness of the Interactive Metronome (IM) in improving cognitive and motor performance in healthy older adults. As the aging adult population continues to rise, it is important to explore tools which can support this population to live as independently as possible for as long as possible. Literature indicates there is a natural decline in cognition with aging, and that cognitive decline may be related to decline in functional performance.
"Results indicated a significant increase in change from the baseline measure to the final point of measure on each of the three assessments as well as the final assessment after the shorter round of interventions."
