    About This Study

    Sleep is a critical part of long-term memory storage and overall brain health. As we get older, our sleep and memory naturally decline. The goal of this study is to see if improving sleep at night can improve memory. Volunteers will wear a headband during sleep that will record brain activity. This headband will also provide low-level electrical stimulation to increase deep sleep. Researchers will see if increasing deep sleep can improve memory and brain health.

    We are looking for volunteers who are diagnosed with mild memory or thinking problems.
