At the start of the study, we asked participants to take a visual sensitivity test. For the test, they had to press a button as soon as they saw a triangle forming in a field of moving dots. People who would develop dementia were much slower to see this triangle on the screen than people who would remain without dementia

Oh no! Slow or no clicking is a sign of dementia. I'm so sorry for your situation.

Lazy OP just copy pasting the title, eh. Or is the article title automatically copied?
