Summary

This study will evaluate the ability of sounds played during slow wave sleep using a phase locked loop algorithm to enhance slow wave sleep and memory in cognitively healthy older adults and in those with amnestic mild cognitive impairment.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Auditory stimulation during sleep

The intervention is a brain computer interface program which measures brain electroencephalogram to identify slow waves and time the sounds. Barely audible sounds are delivered through headphones and played during sleep (specifically, during slow wave sleep).

OTHER

Sham Intervention

The brain electroencephalogram is measured and headphones are worn, but sounds are not played during sleep.
