Brain wave stimulation may improve Alzheimer’s symptoms

MIT graduate student Anthon Martorell and Georgia Tech graduate student Abigail Paulson studied the effect of gamma brainwave stimulation, using both light and sound, in the progression of Alzheimer’s disease.

The results so far are encouraging though efficacy is only suggested in mouse studies. While hopes are high, many approaches that appeared beneficial in mouse studies are later found ineffective in human trials. Since this is a very non-invasive approach, I would expect the timeframe to human studies to be much shorter than with traditional pharmaceutical methods.

RocketCalm includes gamma sessions for general diversity and potential activation of higher awareness centers. We’ve added sessions consistent with this early research as advanced meditation sessions. We can’t make promises along the lines of this research, but if you are meditating in the gamma range anyway, we can apply the techniques from this research.
