The Mood & MemStim Research Study
What is Mood & Mem Stim?
A research study to determine whether non-invasive brain stimulation done in your own home can improve memory and depression in older adults (55+) diagnosed with MCI or mild Alzheimer's Disease and Depression.
Who can participate?
You are an older adult (55+) diagnosed with MCI or mild Alzheimer's Disease and depression. You must have a caregiver/partner who can administer the non-invasive brain stimulation for you at home.
What will you do?
- Come to our lab 5 times for assessments across 5 months
- Health interviews, memory, cognitive, and mood testing
- Electroencephalogram (EEG)
- MRI recording of brain activation - 20 minutes of home-based non-invasive brain stimulation
- (1 session per day, Mon-Fri) for 4 weeks
Parking is provided
