Georgia Tech, Emory researchers advance possible light and sound treatment of Alzheimer's

New findings in a study by researchers from Georgia Tech and Emory University could point the way to a therapeutic treatment for Alzheimer's with the potential to slow the incurable disease's advance. The study, published this month in the journal Alzheimer’s & Dementia: Translational Research & Clinical Interventions, examined whether a technique of flickering lights and sound - which has been found to reduce Alzheimer's in mice - was viable to try with humans. Qiliang He, a postdoctoral fellow in the School of Psychology, is first author for the study.
