Neelima, I like your poster, but I am wondering if your focus is still too diffuse. I agree that the objective of improving cognition as people age is important and it is clearly needed, based on your demographic argument. But, what form is your intervention going to take? I love the idea of making some kind of puzzle or display that changes in response to user actions, but I am not sure if you want to get into a screen based product, like a video game that shows patterns of increasing complexity as the user identifies salient features of visual patterns of increasing complexity. You could also create tactile objects that require some kind of three-dimensional rotation or manipulation. I think you still need to do some more research and reading about pattern recognition and maybe codes. If we can go online tomorrow, I can help you search.
