Brain training gets a High-Tech upgrade: can it fight memory loss?
NCT ID NCT07441122
First seen Feb 28, 2026 · Last updated Jun 22, 2026 · Updated 15 times
Summary
This study explores whether combining a brain-computer interface (BCI) with mild brain stimulation can improve attention and memory in healthy adults and those with mild cognitive impairment. Participants will play a memory game while their brain activity is recorded and used to give real-time feedback. The goal is to see if these techniques can strengthen the brain's 'cognitive reserve' and potentially delay age-related decline.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
transcranial electrical stimulation (tACS) and EEG-based brain-computer interface
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward non-drug ways to strengthen attention and memory in aging and mild cognitive impairment.
What could go wrong
This is an early, small study (100 people) that measures brain signals, not clinical outcomes. It may not lead to any real-world benefit.
