tACS

Full study title: Transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation to Engage Theta-Gamma Coupling and Enhance Working Memory in Patients with Mild Cognitive Impairment

What is the study about?

This study is looking at a new non-invasive brain stimulation methods called transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) to see if it can improve working memory and thinking processes in people with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI).

tACS is a low-risk, non-painful, low electrical current that circulates through the brain of awake participants and stimulates their brain cells.

Eligibility- Who can participate?

Participants must:
• Be 60 years of age
• Have a diagnosis of Mild Cognitive Impairment

Time requirement

Participants will undergo treatment sessions that range from 1 to 1.5 hours at CAMH, 5 days a week, over a total of 2 weeks. In addition, participants will complete clinical and cognitive assessments and bloodwork at baseline and again after treatment
