Summary

This study tests whether a home-based program combining cognitive exercises (like puzzles) with mild brain stimulation can improve thinking and memory in older adults with mild cognitive impairment or late-life depression. About 40 participants will use the program at home with help from a caregiver. The goal is to see if this approach is practical and can help prevent long-term cognitive decline.
