Wired for Change: How tDCS and Behavioral Interventions Support Cognitive Health in Aging 

This discussion panel at the CIVIS meeting offers a multidisciplinary overview of aging, structured around three key perspectives: biological, cognitive, and sociocultural, with a transversal technological contribution. 
The goal is to foster dialogue across disciplines and cultures to better understand both healthy and pathological aging, and to address the societal consequences of existing knowledge gaps. 

From the biological and public health perspective, Prof. Wandera will explore aging trajectories and health inequalities in African contexts, emphasizing the role of environmental and social determinants. 

The cognitive perspective, led by Prof. Nombela, will examine how psychological processes—such as memory, emotion, and reasoning—interact with cultural values and personal histories, influencing vulnerability to misinformation and shaping public understanding of dementia and aging. 

Prof. Ben Lahmar will contribute a technological perspective, discussing how AI tools—such as chatbots and Big Data analytics—can support scientific literacy, counter misinformation, and identify sociocultural trends affecting older populations. 

The panel is complemented by the interactive workshop “Ageing Corner”, led by PhD students, where participants of different ages and backgrounds will share experiences and reflections on aging, inclusion, and dignity.
