Effects of Endogenous Gamma Light Stimulation on Brain Oscillations in Cognitively-normal Older Adults

Effects of Endogenous Gamma Light Stimulation on Brain Oscillations in Cognitively-normal Older Adults: a Randomized, Placebo-controlled, Double-blind Study


Sponsor

Chang Gung Memorial Hospital

Enrollment

52 participants

Start Date

Dec 9, 2024

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

This study aims to evaluate the effects of endogenous gamma non-flickering light stimulation on resting-state EEG rhythms and cognitive function in cognitively healthy older adults. Specifically, it will assess the immediate and long-term effects of this stimulation on brainwave activity and cognitive performance. The study will explore the potential of gamma light stimulation as a non-pharmacological intervention for cognitive decline in aging populations.


Eligibility

Min Age: 55 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is testing whether light flickering at a specific frequency (40 Hz gamma light) can influence brain activity in cognitively healthy older adults. It aims to understand if this type of sensory stimulation might benefit brain function and be used as a future tool to protect against cognitive decline. **You may be eligible if...** - You are over 55 years old - You have normal cognitive function (confirmed by a standard screening test) - You have normal or corrected-to-normal vision - You have not used medications that affect cognition (e.g., benzodiazepines) - You have no history of stroke, epilepsy, migraine, or depression **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You enrolled in another cognitive enhancement study in the past 2 months - You have had cancer, autoimmune disease, or another condition affecting cognition - You are pregnant or planning to become pregnant Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
