Summary

This study tests whether using a gentle nerve-stimulating device on the ear, combined with computer-based brain training, can improve thinking skills and mood in adults aged 45 to 80 who have noticed changes in their memory or attention. Participants will do 10 sessions at home and complete thinking tests, mood surveys, and brain scans before and after treatment. The goal is to see if this approach is practical and acceptable for home use.
