Summary
This pilot study tests whether combining a gentle, noninvasive brain stimulation technique (tACS) with digital meditation can improve thinking skills and wellbeing in older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). About 90 participants aged 60-85 will use a meditation app while receiving brain stimulation or a sham. The goal is to see if this combo can speed up cognitive gains and even affect biological aging markers like telomere length.
