Summary

This pilot study tests whether combining a gentle, noninvasive brain stimulation technique (tACS) with digital meditation can improve thinking skills and well-being in older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). About 90 adults aged 60-85 with MCI will participate. The goal is to see if this combination is feasible and can speed up cognitive gains.
