Brain Keeper has been designed to facilitate participant involvement in a research study conducted by the NeuroPAD research team, working within the Robinson Research Institute at the University of Adelaide. This team investigates the way that the brain, nerves and muscles create and control movement in the human body across the life course. Their research aims to generate knowledge that can be translated into new treatments or interventions to improve learning, memory, cognitive and motor function in vulnerable populations, particularly in those recovering from injury or following altered brain development.
