Integrating Music-Based Interventions with Gamma-Frequency Stimulation: Implications for Healthy Aging

This paper proposes a framework for integrating music-based therapeutic interventions with gamma-frequency (40 Hz) neural stimulation to support healthy aging and reduce the risk of cognitive decline. Drawing on evidence that gamma oscillations are disrupted in Alzheimer's disease and that music can entrain neural activity at these frequencies, the authors outline a design approach for combined audio-visual interventions targeting gamma-band activity in older adults.
