Summary

Animal studies have shown that 40 Hz auditory stimulation alone can improve spatial memory and reduce Aβ deposition. However, human studies using 40 Hz auditory stimulation alone remain limited. Therefore, this study will use a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled design to investigate the effects of 40 Hz auditory stimulation on cognitive function, EEG activity, sleep quality, and quality of life in older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or mild dementia.
