Summary

This study tests whether a special light and sound device used at home for 6 months can help people with mild Alzheimer's. The device uses a 40Hz frequency to boost brain waves, which in animal studies reduced harmful protein buildup and improved memory. Researchers will measure brain activity, memory, and blood markers in 60 participants to see if this safe, non-invasive therapy can slow the disease.
