Professor Chignell will start by rev iewing a game that he has developed for delirium screening in emergency de partments\, with Dr. Jacques Lee of Sunnybrook and Mt. Sinai hospitals.\n\ nHe will then discuss a battery of serious games that he and his team are developing with Dr. Bruce Morton of Western University. They currently hav e a set of six games implementing six different psychological tasks (cogni tive speed\, response inhibition\, working memory\, cognitive flexibility\ , spatial attention\, delayed match to sample)\, but with a common whacamo le game design.\n\nHe will provide demos of each of the games and he will also present BrainTagger\, a social media-friendly version of the game tha t they are using to collect normative data for different age groups. He wi ll present experimental data showing that his response inhibition game is highly correlated with the Go/No-Go task\, a standard psychological measur e of response inhibition.\n\nHe will then discuss his plans for using fMRI brain scanning while playing the games to validate the types of brain act ivation that are produced by playing each of his games. After the presenta tion\, he would like to have a discussion on the role of serious games in cognitive assessment\, and the benefits of having frequent cognitive asses sment as people get older.\n\n \;\n\nBio\n\nMark Chignell has been a m ember of the Mechanical &\; Industrial Engineering faculty since 1990.
