'It's sort of connecting to the so-called language of the brain...'
Researchers at Boston University may have discovered a new and effective way of stimulating and improving memory in older individuals. The best part? It's noninvasive — all you need to do is wear a headset that sends electric currents to targeted parts of the brain.
"It's sort of connecting to the so-called language of the brain," Dr. Robert Reinhart, study coauthor and director of the Cognitive and Clinical Neuroscience Laboratory at Boston University,For the first round of testing, the researchers enlisted the help of 60 volunteers aged between 65 and 88, split into three groups of 20 participants.
The results were modest, though hopeful. Seventeen of the 20 individuals who received the gamma waves showed improvement in long-term memory, defined by the scientists as the ability to remember the earliest words of each recall exam. Eighteen of 20 of the theta wave bunch showed improvement in short-term memory, defined by the scientists as the ability to remember the last words in the same test.
