Annabelle Singer reports her findings after the first human feasibility study of her flicker treatment.
Early Feasibility Study Shows Flickering Lights and Sound Could Be New Weapon Against Alzheimer’s

Flicker Treatment for Alzheimer’s Gets a Test Run

Georgia Tech and Emory researchers collaborate on human feasibility trial
Just as a prism separates white light into colors of different wavelengths, researcher Lu Zhang and his collaborators on the Singer team have developed a new method to separate brain waves into different states based on their frequency and phase. These brain states are thought to play an important role in how brain areas communicate.
Understanding the Flavors in our Heads

Annabelle Singer and team develop new approach to investigate oscillatory brain dynamics
The brain of an Alzheimer's sufferer can dramatically lose mass and shrink. In particular, center structures of the brain usually diminish early on. One such region susceptible to early and severe damage is the hippocampus, which can lead to memory loss and disorientation.

Data Detectives Shift Suspicions in Alzheimer's from Usual Suspect to Inside Villain

It may be high time to refocus Alzheimer's research, as a new study strongly points to a biochemical culprit traditionally less pursued.
