Age-related effects in sensory and neural processing

脑机接口(BCI)是加拿大极具商业利益的一个快速发展的领域。加拿大BCI领域的领先公司InteraXon多年来一直在设计和测试一种系统，该系统允许用户无线控制他们的计算机和移动设备，该系统基于对通过脑电(EEG)测量的神经活动实时波动的专有分析。到目前为止，这款被称为缪斯的设备已经在年轻用户身上进行了测试和改进。然而，老年人是加拿大人口中增长最快的部分，因此为了保持竞争优势，InteraXon必须确保该系统也能适应老年用户。InteraXon将与麦克马斯特的塞库勒博士和她的实验室合作，考虑到与年龄相关的感觉处理和神经信号变化的限制，确定当前的校准和信息控制系统如何运作。鉴于塞库勒博士实验室之前的工作，已经证实视觉、听力和神经处理在我们的一生中发生了戏剧性的变化。因此，缪斯女神

Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI) are a rapidly evolving area of great commercial interest to Canada. Canada's leading company in BCI, InteraXon, has spent years designing and testing a system to allow users to control their computers and mobile devices wirelessly, based on a proprietary analysis of real-time fluctuations in neural activity measured through electroencephalography (EEG). To date, the device, known as the MUSE, has been tested and refined on younger users. However, seniors are the fastest growing segment of Canada's population, so to maintain its competitive advantage, InteraXon must ensure that the system can be adapted to older users as well. Working with McMaster's Dr. Sekuler and her lab, InteraXon will determine how the current calibration and information control systems function given the constraints of age-related changes in sensory processing and neural signals. Given previous work in Dr. Sekuler's lab, it already has been established that vision, audition, and neural processing changes dramatically throughout our lifetimes. Thus, the MUSE
