Summary
What is it like to have advanced dementia? How do changes in sleep and awareness impact the behaviour and quality of life of people living with advanced dementia? How can we be sure that our interventions are making a genuinely positive difference? This PhD project will address these fundamental questions by translating recent breakthroughs in cognitive neuroscience to improve understanding of sleep disturbance, awareness, and the care needs of people with advanced dementia. It will use state-of-the-art EEG, physiological and behavioural biomarkers of sleep, awareness, and emotional response to provide a unique understanding of advanced dementia.
