NCT ID NCT07496918
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a non-invasive device that uses light and sound at a specific frequency (gamma) to see if it can change brain activity. Researchers will measure effects using brain scans and tests in 150 healthy adults and people with Alzheimer's. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and feasible for slowing cognitive decline.
