A Georgia Tech researcher is turning flickering light and sound into a new tool in the fight against Alzheimer’s, using rhythmic sensory stimulation to “tune” brain waves, boost memory, and ...
A gentle flicker of light and a steady hum of sound might help slow the course of Alzheimer’s disease. That’s the idea behind a novel therapy developed by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of ...

Gamma stimulation for Alzheimer’s patients: 40-hertz sensory therapy shows tremendous promise
Simple 40-hertz light and sound stimulation can induce brain rhythms that reduce Alzheimer’s pathology and improve cognitive function without invasive procedures or pharmaceutical side effects.
Scientists report that gamma frequency light and sound stimulation preserves myelination in mouse models and reveal molecular mechanisms that may underlie the benefit. Early-stage trials in ...
Green staining indicates myelination in these mouse brain cross sections. The brain that received 40Hz light and sound stimulation (right) shows significantly more myelin in four brain regions (insets ...
