What this means
Researchers plan to check whether gentle magnetic pulses to the brain change thinking and brain function. The study has not finished, so it cannot tell us whether the pulses help.

Registry summary
This study will investigate transcranial pulse stimulation (TPS) as a method of enhancing cognitive and neural function. The study team will apply this low intensity, magnetically pulse technology to key brain regions in a randomized, sham-controlled trial (RCT). The study will determine the magnitude of changes in cognitive function and brain function and structure between a pre- and post-stimulation among 10 typically-aging older adults and 10 patients with mild dementia.
