Summary

This study tests whether combining a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called accelerated iTBS with computerized cognitive training can help people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Fifty adults aged 60-85 will receive the brain stimulation and be randomly assigned to one of two types of computer training. The main goal is to see if the treatment is feasible and acceptable, and whether it improves memory, thinking, mood, and daily function.
