Alzheimer’s LED light strip

6/16/2019



Studies have shown exposure to a 40Hz white light for an hour a day helps slow the progression of Alzheimer's Disease and improves memory in mice. This is done by mimicking gamma waves that occur in the brain. People with Alzheimer’s disease show a reduction in gamma waves.
