Home-based Brain Stimulation for Memory

This is a feasibility study, which will include older adult participants (Ps) with memory deficits together with willing and able administrators (As) to administer tACS to the participants. This study will include 20 older Ps and 20 As to assess the feasibility of deploying home-based tACS in larger clinical trials, and to prepare for the development and implementation of such trials. The proposed project will systematically examine the feasibility of remote, caregiver-led tACS for older adults who are vulnerable to memory decline. This study will provide data to support the safety and effectiveness of home-based tACS in this population and will lead to future research to increase access of tACS as a part of memory decline prevention and treatment for older adults who have more difficulty reaching a clinic for treatment due to disability or who live more remotely.
