What the study is about

This project optimizes high-resolution transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation (tACS) to improve memory in healthy older adults, advancing drug-free approaches for Alzheimer's disease and related dementia (ADRD). We test stimulation schedules and develop an adaptive, brain-guided tACS system to strengthen memory-supporting networks.

Being studied: 1-day patterned tACS; 3-day patterned tACS; 5-day patterned tACS; 1-day continuous tACS; 3-day continuous tACS; 5-day continuous tACS

Conditions: Aging; Noninvasive Brain Stimulation; Memory
