This study is looking into ways to improve memory in healthy older adults using a non-drug approach called transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS). This involves applying a low-intensity electrical current to the scalp to help brain networks that support memory. Researchers are testing different schedules of tACS, including 1-day, 3-day, and 5-day treatments, to find the best way to enhance memory. The goal is to develop drug-free options for memory decline often seen in aging and conditions like Alzheimer's disease. You might be able to join if you are 65 or older, have good vision, and do not have certain medical conditions like metal implants in your head or a history of neurological problems. The study will measure your visual working memory and how well you can stop interruptions at the start, one week, and one month after the treatment.

Study design

This is an interventional study planning to enroll 240 participants. It is testing different schedules of transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS).

What's involved

You would have your memory and brain activity (EEG) measured at the start, one week after treatment, and one month after treatment. The study involves receiving tACS for 1, 3, or 5 days.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

Participants will be followed for one month after the intervention to measure memory and brain activity.
