Could we treat Alzheimer's with light and sound?

TED Talks / Li Huei Tsai

Li Huei Tsai on stage

The talk by Li-Huei Tsai explores the potential of using light and sound to treat Alzheimer’s disease. She discusses groundbreaking research showing how non-invasive methods, such as flickering lights and specific sound frequencies, can stimulate brain waves that clear out toxic proteins associated with Alzheimer’s in mice. This approach could offer a new way to slow or even reverse the effects of Alzheimer’s disease in humans, providing a possible alternative to drug treatments. Tsai highlights the promise of this innovative therapy and its implications for future research.
