This study tests whether a special light and sound device used at home for 6 months can help people with mild Alzheimer's. The device uses a 40Hz frequency to boost brain waves, which in animal studies reduced harmful protein buildup and improved memory. Researchers will measure …

This study explores whether gentle light, sound, and touch stimulation can safely change brain activity in people with mild Parkinson's disease. Researchers will measure brain waves before, during, and after stimulation to see if it boosts helpful gamma waves. The goal is to find…

This study tests whether a single dose of the CBD drug Epidiolex can reduce anxiety in people with social anxiety disorder. Researchers will measure self-reported anxiety, stress hormones, and brain activity during a stressful speaking task. The study involves 50 adults aged 18-5…

This study tests a smart prosthetic leg that uses muscle signals from the user's thigh to control the knee and ankle. Ten adults with above-knee amputations will try the bionic leg on flat ground, stairs, and other real-world tasks. Researchers will measure how well users control…

This study explores whether gentle light, sound, and vibration can safely change brain waves in adults with Down syndrome, who have a higher risk of Alzheimer's disease. Researchers will measure brain activity with EEG during a single 30-60 minute session. The goal is to see if t…

This study looks at how experiencing a stressful social situation changes brain activity in healthy adults. Researchers will use brain scans (fMRI) to compare people who go through a stress test with those who do not. The goal is to understand the brain's response to social stres…

This study explores whether a non-invasive device using light and sound at a specific frequency (gamma) can change brain activity in healthy adults and people with Alzheimer's disease. Researchers will use brain scans and tests to measure effects and safety during a single visit.…
