TED: Are brain waves the secret to treating Alzheimer's? | Li-Huei Tsai

The video discusses the role of brain waves, particularly gamma waves, in transmitting information and their potential link to Alzheimer's disease. Research shows that weakened gamma waves may contribute to Alzheimer's. Studies at MIT found that stimulating gamma waves with light and sound can improve brain function in mice and potentially humans. Initial human trials show promising results, suggesting gamma wave stimulation could delay Alzheimer's onset. The approach is noninvasive and safe, offering hope for future treatments.

What are the implications of the findings for human testing?
