This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
Researchers are looking for new, reliable ways to spot Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease before symptoms become obvious. This study uses specialized brain scans and memory exercises to identify patterns in how the brain is organized and functioning that could help doctors diagnose these diseases earlier, when treatment may be most helpful.
Currently, doctors rely mainly on symptoms to diagnose these diseases, which often means diagnosis comes late—sometimes decades after the disease has started silently in the brain. Finding reliable, non-invasive markers early could help catch these diseases sooner, give patients access to new treatments faster, and potentially slow down memory loss and other symptoms.

You will visit the research center for about half a day. First, you'll have a clinical assessment where doctors evaluate your memory and thinking. Then you'll have an MRI brain scan (a detailed imaging test that's painless and non-invasive). Finally, you'll complete a memory task on a computer that tests how you recognize information when there are confusing or conflicting cues. The whole visit is designed to give researchers a detailed picture of how your brain is organized and functioning.
