Abstract

We investigated the effects of gamma auditory stimulation on cognitive performance by comparing healthy younger and older adults with MCI older adults. Therefore, 80 participants were administered cognitive tasks under two stimulation conditions: 40 Hz and sham. Our findings revealed improvements in memory and attention tasks in the MCI group.
