This project aims to examine the efficacy of remote, caregiver-led tES/brain stimulation intervention targeted to improve memory, mobility, and executive functioning among older adults with mild cognitive impairment or mild dementia.
This is a randomized controlled trial to test the efficacy of a home-based brain stimulation intervention of tACS (for angular gyrus) and tDCS (for the prefrontal cortex) to improve memory, mobility, and executive function. It will include 144 older adults with mild dementia or mild cognitive impairment and their caregiver/administrator who will be trained to lead the remote, home-based brain stimulation. Participants will be randomized into one of four conditions, a) active combination of tACS + tDCS, b) combination of active tACS + sham tDCS, c) combination of sham tACS + active tDCS, and d)…
Inclusion Criteria: Participants (Ps) * willing and capable to give informed consent for the participation in the study after it has been thoroughly explained * able and willing to comply with all study requirements * an informed consent form was signed * able to read, write, and communicate in English Caregiver/Administrators (As) * at least 18 years of age * able to read, write, and communicate in English * self-reported computer proficiency and willingness to learn how to use tES as defined by "yes" answers to the questions "Do you feel comfortable using a computer?" and "Are you willin…
Transcranial electrical stimulation (tES), via alternating and direct current, will be administered to the participant in their home by their caregiver administrator to the left angular gyrus and prefrontal cortex.
A sham transcranial electrical stimulation (tES) will be administered to the participant in their home by their caregiver administrator to the left angular gyrus and prefrontal cortex. It will physically mimic active stimulation.
