Join us for an insightful conversation with Dr. Mohamed Elmasry about the research behind his latest book, Dementia: Evidence-based Lifestyle Guidelines. Signed copies of the book will be available for sale after the event.
At 82, Dr. Mohamed Elmasry, PhD, FRSC, FIEEE, FCAE, FEIC, Emeritus Professor of Computer Engineering at the University of Waterloo, has recently authored and co-authored four important, timely, and popular books about the human brain and recent advances in knowledge about the relationships between Artificial and Real (human) Intelligence. Through neuroscience, lifestyle medicine, and personal memoir, he has drawn on a 50-year career of research into the marvels of Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs), the building blocks of AI, to explore the human brain, mind, and memory—and most importantly—how we all can reduce dementia risk as we age.
Dementia is one of the greatest health crises of our time, impacting millions of lives worldwide. But what if you could take control of your future and reduce your dementia risk?
In Dementia: Evidence-based Lifestyle Guidelines, Dr. Kareem Bannis and Professor Mohamed Elmasry combine cutting-edge medical research with practical lifestyle strategies to help you protect your brain health. Drawing from decades of expertise in geriatric medicine, neuroscience, and artificial intelligence, they present a groundbreaking approach to preventing and managing dementia through physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.
