Publication: TED Author: Li-Huei Tsai What if we could use brain waves to treat Alzheimer’s? Professor and neuroscientist Li-Huei Tsai details a promising new approach to artificially stimulate gamma brain waves using light and sound therapy, to increase connectivity and synchrony and delay the onset of this deadly disease. This non-invasive therapy has already been …

Manzanares, Deqiang Qiu, Svjetlana Miocinovic, Levi B. Wood, Allan I. Levey, James J. Lah, Annabelle C. Singer After seeing the beneficial results of 40Hz lights reducing amyloid plaques in mice, researchers began a human …
Publication: Medical News TodayAuthor: Jeanna D. Smiley Alzheimer’s disease destroys neurons and their connections in parts of the brain involved in memory. It’s caused in part by amyloid plaques that compound in the brain. Multiple studies are ongoing revealing the deep connections between cleaning out amyloid plaques and sleep. Current research agrees with previous studies …
Deep Sleep May Help Clear the Brain of Alzheimer’s-Related Toxins Read More »
Publication: NewsWiseAuthor: Mount Sinai Health System The National Institute of Health awarded Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai by approving a 5-year grant focused solely on 40 Hz light therapy. The project will use pulses of light to focus on enhancing sleep in patients while another focus is boosting gamma waves. For Dr. Mariana …
Could a Novel Light Therapy Help People With Alzheimer’s? Read More »
Publication: NYTimes Author: Pam Belluck For Alzheimer’s patients, a new study led by a prominent M.I.T. neuroscientist offers tantalizing promise. It found that when mice engineered to exhibit Alzheimer’s-like qualities were exposed to 40Hz lights and clicking sounds, important brain functions improved and toxic levels of Alzheimer’s-related proteins diminished. What’s more, the rapid-fire soundtrack appeared …
A Possible Alzheimer’s Treatment with Clicks and Flashes? It Worked on Mice Read More »
Publication: Biospace A Massachusetts-based neuro-physiology company developing a new class of digital therapeutics to treat neurodegenerative disorders presented key findings from clinical research at the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference in 2021. These results reported the impact of gamma frequency neuro-modulation on cognitive function in Alzheimer’s Disease, which showed improvements in sleep, improvements in memory and …
As research on on dementia advances – and 95% of what we know about Alzheimer’s has been discovered in the last fifteen years.
Publication: NatureAuthor: Helen Thomson Neuroscientists are getting excited about non-invasive procedures to tune the brain’s natural oscillations. Although scientists have observed the effects of differing brainwaves for the past 100 years, only now are they understanding the positive effects that certain frequencies have on restoring gamma wave activity in the brain. The work offers the …
How Flashing Lights and Pink Noise Might Banish Alzheimer’s, Improve Memory and More Read More »
Publication: Medical News Today Author: James Kingsland MIT research team revealed that light therapy boosts a form of brain wave called gamma oscillation, which research suggests is impaired in people with Alzheimer’s disease. The most recent investigation has shown that boosting gamma oscillations can improve the connection between nerve cells, reduce inflammation, and preserve against …
Can Flickering Light and Sound Treat Alzheimer’s Read More »
Publication: Science Daily Author: Ben Brumfield The promise of flickering light to treat Alzheimer’s takes another step forward in a new study conducted at the Georgia Institute of Technology, which revealed stark biochemical mechanisms: 40 Hertz stimulus triggers a marked release of signaling chemicals to fight Alzheimer’s disease. The flickering light does need not long …
