Brain effects of light and sound stimulation at 40 Hz
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether special lights and sounds (at a specific 'gamma' frequency) can safely affect brain activity. It is an early trial looking at how the brain responds to these gentle sensory stimulations.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have normal or corrected vision and hearing.
- You must not have a history of seizures or epilepsy.
- You must be able to safely have an MRI (no metal in your body like pacemakers, implants, or shrapnel).
- You must be willing to attend study visits and complete thinking and memory tests.

This study tests whether regular at-home “gamma” light and sound stimulation can help people with mild Alzheimer’s. Participants start with a month at home and are followed to see how they do during treatment.
This study tests whether regular “gamma” light and sound stimulation can delay or prevent Alzheimer’s disease-related memory decline in people who are currently not showing dementia but are at higher risk. It uses brain testing (MRI and PET) and memory/language tests over about 13 months.
This study tests a new treatment that uses 40-Hz light and sound stimulation to potentially improve brain function in people with early Alzheimer's disease or mild cognitive impairment. It aims to see if this non-invasive therapy can help slow down memory loss and thinking problems.
This trial tests whether a combination of 40 Hz light stimulation and cognitive (thinking) therapy can improve symptoms in people with Alzheimer’s disease. It may help by stimulating the brain and training thinking skills, while carefully checking eye and seizure history.
This trial studies a non-invasive brain-stimulation approach to help doctors assess and manage certain brain-related conditions. You might benefit by contributing to better diagnostic tools and treatment planning for memory and thinking problems.
This study tests whether a special light and sound device can help improve symptoms of schizophrenia. It may offer a new, non-drug treatment option.
