Currently about 150,000 Australian's suffer from cognitive impairment due to Alzheimer's disease or dementia and this number is expected to double over the next few decades. By combining newly developed mathematical methods in complex systems with sophisticated neural imaging we will develop new techniques to advance the diagnosis and treatment of cognitive decline in normal ageing and neurodegenerative disease. This project will also maintain the collaborative link between researchers in Biomathematics at Mount Sinai School of Medicine, New York and researchers in Applied Mathematics at UNSW that enables training of Australian scientists in the vital area of mathematical bio-complexity.

目前，约有15万澳大利亚人因阿尔茨海默病或痴呆症而患有认知障碍，预计这一数字在未来几十年内将翻一番。通过将复杂系统中新开发的数学方法与复杂的神经成像相结合，我们将开发新技术，以促进正常衰老和神经退行性疾病中认知能力下降的诊断和治疗。 该项目还将保持纽约西奈山医学院生物数学研究人员与新南威尔士大学应用数学研究人员之间的合作联系，使澳大利亚科学家能够在数学生物复杂性的重要领域进行培训。
