Neurostimulation to Improve Depression and Memory in Dementia

Project Summary

This project will combine two types of transcranial electrical stimulation, a noninvasive technology that allows for the modulation of brain network activity to address depressive and memory symptoms in older adults with depression and Alzheimer’s dementia. By using cutting-edge technology to study the electrical fields generated in the targeted brain circuits and delivering the intervention at home, this project will help develop a scalable, accessible, noninvasive intervention with the greatest impact on alleviating depression and Alzheimer’s symptoms.
