Seminar 1 – Exercise and Aging – “VIVIFRAIL multicomponent exercise program”
Mikel Izquierdo, Professor and Director of the Department of Health Sciences at the Public University of Navarra (Spain). ORCID ID 0000-0002-1506-4272
If you fight frailty, if your focus is on Physical Activity physiology and/or health promotion in the elderly, you should learn more about Vivifrail.
The Vivifrail Seminar empowers professionals to manage elder frailty and prevent falls. It emphasizes physical activity’s role in maintaining and enhancing functionality and life quality. The course provides strategies for personalized interventions to combat inactivity, reducing disability and dependence risks in an aging population. Participants will learn practical application of the Vivifrail physical training program to delay disability and boost seniors’ cognitive and emotional health.

Seminar 2 – Brain vs. Machine – “Brain-Computer Interfaces hands-on””
Hugo Alexandre Ferreira, Professor, Scientist and Entrepreneur in MedTech, Digital Health, Ageing and Longevity. ORCID ID: 0000-0002-4323-3942
Dedicated to all of those wanting to develop their information in cutting-edge science. After a brief historical overview of Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs), advanced fundamentals and methods of operation will follow. We will also address practical applications and future trends. On this journey we will discover how such BCI devices are enabling us to gain insights into how we humans learn, inspiring us to build improved AI algorithms, and promoting better “personal relationships” with machines.
A practical hands-on demo will conclude the seminar.
