Brain Stimulation to Improve Memory and Movement:
HomeStim Research Study
Harvard faculty and researchers at Hebrew SeniorLife are evaluating the effects of therapeutic at-home non-invasive brain stimulation for improving memory and mobility in older adults diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment, mild Alzheimer’s disease, or a related dementia.

Study Background
The purpose of the study is to determine if non-invasive brain stimulation, called transcranial direct stimulation (tDCS), improves balance, walking, and memory in older adults at risk of falls. Funded by the National Institute on Aging.

Past studies have shown promise in using non-invasive brain stimulations as a tool to improve stability in walking as well as to enhance memory and thinking.

Your participation may advance our understanding of tDCS for these purposes.
