We have now named the winner of Tom Budzynski Legacy Award, sponsored by Mind Place, for clinical research in application of neurofeedback in elderly for prevention of Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) progression to dementia/Alzheimer disease. It has been 10 years since Tom passed away and we wanted to commemorate his legacy. It is a one time award.
The award ($500) goes to:
Dr Fabienne Marlats, Neuropsychologist, Department of Clinical Gerontology, Broca Hôspital, Assistance Publique-Hôpitaux de Paris (AP-HP), Research TEAM EA4468, Paris Descartes University, Paris, France
For her series of research studies:

We appreciate that MindPlace sponsored this award (back in 2019) and always supported our cause by donations to our annual auction.
Background Older adults with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) are at high risk of progressing to Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Slowing down the effect of dementia by enhancing brain plasticity represents one of the most prominent challenges. Neurofeedback (NF) has shown promising results in improving w...
