For each experiment, the table shows number of participants, their demographics (age, education and gender), and the cognitive tests they have taken in each experiment. A total number of 448 volunteers took part in these experiments. Experiments 1 and 2 were to establish CGN_ICA correlation with standard-of-care cognitive assessment tools for MCI and dementia screening in older adults (i.e. MoCA and ACE-R). The third experiment covers younger individuals (19 to 65 years-old) who have taken CGN_ICA along with three other standard cognitive tests, particularly suitable for this age-range. Experiment 3′ is a test-retest: 44 volunteers who participated in the third experiment were called back after five weeks (+−15 days) to take the CGN_ICA and SDMT test for the second time. This was to assess CGN_ICA test-retest reliability (r = 0.96, p < 10−7)]). Experiment 4 is the learning-effect experiment in which 12 young university students took the CGN_ICA test every other day for two weeks to see whether CGN_ICA is free from learning bias and suitable for micro-monitoring of cognitive performance.
