Ben Isbel, from the Sunshine Coast Mind and Neuroscience Thompson Institute at the University of the Sunshine Coast, is overseeing the world-first study.

"There have been quite a few studies using the kind of technology we are using but realistically, they've all been done on a younger population," he said.
