Enhancing Cognition in Older Adults With Intermittent Hypoxia and Cognitive Training

Acute intermittent hypoxia is a safe, non-invasive technique. All sessions will be monitored by research study staff trained in delivering acute intermittent hypoxia. Hypoxic intervals will be delivered with a commercially available sports performance hypoxicator. A unit capable of delivering a fraction of inspired oxygen ranging from 21%-9% will be used. Air will be delivered into a mask that will be secured comfortably over the subject's nose and mouth. Intervention sessions will occur for 10 days over a 2 week period.

60 minutes of Double Decision cognitive training for 10 days over a 2 week period.
