We are recruiting individuals between the ages of 18 and 85. The main purpose of this study is to explore how aging affects not only the local organization of hippocampus but also the corresponding global connectivity.

Participants will be reimbursed $40 for completing the two visits.

The goal of this interview is to gather a clinician's perspective on the feasibility and potential integration of a new Geriatric Functional Assessment System (GFAS) into their clinical practice. This proposed system is a clinic-based wearable device designed to collect visual and motion data from older adults during their primary care visits that will help assess physical function. Its goal is to collect and process data, apply machine learning, and enable clinicians to identify early signs of functional decline.
