Researchers at the University of Nicolaus Copernicus (UMK) are working to develop digital neuro-biomarkers of the disease and non-pharmacological cognitive interventions to slow the development of dementia. The use of artificial intelligence may be helpful in predicting the early stages of this disease.

The research is being conducted in collaboration with the Centre of Advanced Intelligence Project RIKEN (RIKEN AIP) in Tokyo. The unit has been in existence since 1917. Today, it is made up of a network of world-class research centres across Japan, totalling nearly 3,000 researchers across seven campuses working with almost 500 partners. Researchers from the UMK Department of Cognitive Science have been collaborating with RIKEN AIP for almost two years.

“The results of our joint pilot research project are already promising and confirm the feasibility of creating a robust tool to predict early dementia in the diverse cultural environments of Japan and Poland, announces Dr Tomasz M. Rutkowski of RIKEN AIP.
