NCT ID NCT04446481
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This small study tested whether real-time neurofeedback—a technique where people learn to control their own brainwaves—could improve memory-related brain activity in older veterans with mild cognitive impairment. Four veterans aged 60 and older participated. The goal was to see if this non-invasive brain training approach could help slow memory decline.
