Brain game for focus: Using brain-computer tech in older adults
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests if a brain-computer interface can help older adults improve attention. You'll use a computer that reads your brain signals and gives feedback to train your focus.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 35 or 65 and older
- You have normal vision (with glasses or contacts is fine)
- You are able to read and understand English
- You don't have a history of brain conditions like epilepsy, dementia, or bipolar disorder
- You aren't taking medications that could raise seizure risk, like stimulants
- Your scalp is free of cuts, wounds, or infections where the sensors will go

This study tests if a gentle electrical current applied to the scalp (called transcranial alternating current stimulation, or tACS) can improve your ability to stand and walk while doing another task. It aims to help older adults with mild memory problems become more stable and reduce fall risk.
This study tests a new, non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial temporal interference stimulation to see if it can improve memory and thinking skills in older adults with mild cognitive impairment (early memory loss that isn't yet dementia). Participants will receive the stimulation treatment and have their cognitive function monitored over time.
This study tests if playing special brain-computer interface (BCI) games can help keep your brain active as you age. The games use your brain waves to respond, so you don't need to move a mouse or keyboard.
This study tests whether combining brain stimulation (TMS) with cognitive training games can help people with mild cognitive impairment—early memory and thinking problems. The goal is to see if this combination improves thinking abilities and slows cognitive decline.
This trial tests whether a gentle electrical brain stimulation technique called tACS can improve working memory in people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). If you have MCI due to early Alzheimer's, this study may help find new ways to boost memory.
This study tests whether a gentle, non-invasive electrical current applied to the scalp (tACS) combined with computer-based brain exercises can improve memory and thinking in older adults who have concerns about their cognitive health.
