AI-Powered brain zaps aim to boost memory in Alzheimer's
NCT ID NCT07208734
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a personalized brain stimulation device (tACS) for older adults with mild cognitive impairment or mild Alzheimer's. The device uses AI to tailor the stimulation based on each person's brain scans. About 460 participants will join to see if it safely improves memory and thinking.
