First seen Apr 01, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 9 times

Summary

This study explores whether a non-invasive device using light and sound at a specific frequency (gamma) can change brain activity. Researchers will test 150 healthy adults and people with Alzheimer's during a one-day visit at MIT. The goal is to see if this stimulation is safe and affects brain waves, using EEG, MEG, MRI, and blood tests.
