People with dementia want to participate in research, according to study

For a long time, dementia research has been shaped by concerns that participation may be too burdensome for people with cognitive impairment. However, a recent study led by professors Eino Solje and Anna Mäki-Petäjä-Leinonen found the opposite: 90% of participants reported no burden from participating. Many described the experience as positive, interesting and even refreshing.
