In this episode of The Open Loop, Chay Carter is joined by Ryan Glatt and Lauren Sergio of NERON.
Ryan is a Brain Health Coach and Director of the FitBrain℠ Program at Pacific Neuroscience Institute, where his work focuses on brain health, exercise science, clinical exergaming, dual-task training, and cognitive wellness.
Lauren is a Professor and neuroscientist at York University whose work focuses on movement control, cognitive-motor integration, and how the brain coordinates thinking and movement.
We explore how NERON is using simple movement-based tasks to assess more complex brain communication, and why thinking while moving could become a valuable part of brain health measurement.
Ryan and Lauren also discuss ageing, concussion, fall risk, sport, military applications, and the challenge of making brain health assessment more accessible outside traditional clinical settings.
Key takeaways:
🔹 Why thinking and moving together can reveal more than cognition or movement alone
🔹 How neuromotor and visuomotor control relate to everyday brain health
🔹 Why dual-task assessment may help identify risk earlier than traditional screening tools
🔹 How NERON uses simple movement tasks to assess complex brain communication
🔹 Where this technology could be used across ageing, concussion, sport, military and community health settings
