This study tests whether using a special device that flashes light and plays sound at 40 times per second can help people with mild Alzheimer's. Sixty participants will use the device at home for one hour each day for six months. Researchers will check brain activity, memory, and…

This study tests whether a single dose of the CBD drug Epidiolex can reduce anxiety in people with social anxiety disorder. Researchers will measure self-reported anxiety, stress hormones, and brain activity during a stressful speaking task. The study involves 50 adults aged 18-5…

This study tests a new, non-invasive method using light, sound, and touch to stimulate gamma brain waves in people with mild Parkinson's disease. The goal is to see if it's safe and can change brain activity. Forty participants will have their brain waves measured before, during,…

This study explores whether a non-invasive device using light and sound at a specific frequency (gamma) can change brain activity. Researchers will test 150 healthy adults and people with Alzheimer's during a one-day visit at MIT. The goal is to see if this stimulation is safe an…

This study explores whether a non-invasive method using light, sound, and vibration can safely change brain activity in adults with Down Syndrome. Researchers will monitor brain waves and check for side effects during a single session. The goal is to see if this approach is feasi…

This study tests a smart prosthetic leg that uses muscle signals from the user's thigh to control the knee and ankle. Ten adults with above-knee amputations will try the device on flat ground, stairs, and other real-world tasks. Researchers will measure how well the leg moves, ho…

This study looks at how experiencing a stressful social situation changes brain activity in healthy adults. Researchers will use brain scans (fMRI) to compare people who go through a social stress test with those who don't. The goal is to understand the brain's response to stress…
