Closed-loop brain stimulation for memory changes
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a type of brain stimulation that adjusts based on your brain signals to see if it can help with cognitive decline or mild memory problems. You may be able to join if you are cognitively normal, or if you have mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and your brain imaging and stimulation setup is possible.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are either age 18–35, or age 60–90
- You are in good general health
- You have normal or corrected vision (glasses/contacts are okay)
- You can understand study instructions (about middle school level or higher education)
- Your cognitive status fits: either cognitively normal, or older adults with MCI by specific criteria
Quick eligibility check
Answer a few plain-language questions, based on this study's own requirements, to get a preliminary sense of fit.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a brain stimulation approach (TBS) to see if it can improve thinking and memory in people with mild cognitive impairment. It may also explore why it works by looking at brain-related measurements after TBS.
This trial tests whether a harmless brain stimulation technique called TPS can improve memory and thinking in older adults with mild memory problems. You may be able to join if you have MCI, are right-handed, and are generally healthy otherwise.
This study tests a brain-stimulation approach to help improve memory as people age. You may be able to take part if you can consent and meet safety and medical criteria, especially related to brain/nerve health and seizure risk.
This study tests a targeted, non-surgical brain stimulation method to help people with memory, especially remembering facts over time. It compares healthy adults and adults with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI), using sessions plus brain scans and memory testing.
This trial uses brain stimulation and MRI to study memory problems in people with neurodegenerative diseases or traumatic brain injury. It aims to understand how the brain changes and may help guide future treatments.
This trial tests whether transcranial magnetic stimulation (a noninvasive brain stimulation technique) can help people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). You and a close contact, like a spouse or friend, will both take part in the study over several sessions.
