Summary

This study is testing whether a special flickering light therapy can improve memory and sleep in people with mild cognitive impairment or early Alzheimer's disease. About 120 participants will be randomly assigned to one of four light conditions and use the light at home for two hours each morning for 8 weeks. The goal is to see if this safe, non-drug approach can help ease symptoms and support brain function.
