This $216,210 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging's Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) supports research to investigate the potential of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) as a therapeutic intervention to improve neurovascular coupling and cognitive function in stroke survivors with post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI). The project aims to comprehensively evaluate neurovascular coupling responses in stroke survivors with and without cognitive impairment, and...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 Aging Research) provides $1,167,871 to the Hebrew Rehabilitation Center in Boston, Massachusetts to conduct a randomized controlled trial evaluating the use of home-based transcranial electrical stimulation (tDCS) to improve cognitive and motor function in older adults at risk of developing Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. The study aims to determine if long-term tDCS can induce sustained improvements in...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $147,933 to the University of Florida to conduct a 5-year study investigating the effects of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on working memory in individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). The study aims to: 1) Identify whether acute tDCS application leads to greater behavioral changes in working memory and quantify factors driving these changes in MCI patients compared...
The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a $227,740 Project Grant (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) to the University of Florida to investigate the effects of transcutaneous spinal direct current stimulation (tsDCS) as an adjunct therapy to dynamic balance training in older adults with balance and walking deficits. The study aims to assess whether active tsDCS combined with balance training can enhance practice-related gains and retention in balance and walking performance, and whether this is...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) provides $498,429 to the Children's Research Institute to conduct research on identifying the multi-modal factors that determine individual response to transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS). The research aims to apply machine learning algorithms to a unique dataset of structural MRI, functional MRI, cognitive performance, and other measures to determine which factors, such as anatomical targeting or...
This $640,000 Project Grant award was provided by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to Northeastern University. The goal of the project is to gain a deeper understanding of how gamma entrainment using sensory stimulus (GENUS), a promising non-pharmacological neuromodulation technique, influences cerebral energy metabolism and microvascular hemodynamics in Alzheimer's disease (AD) models. The award will fund the development and application of...
This $428,883 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173) aims to examine the effects of individualized transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) on phonological short-term memory performance in chronic stroke survivors with aphasia. The key objectives are to identify optimal tACS targets, frequency, and electric field coverage based on...
The National Institute on Aging (NIA), under the Aging Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.866), awarded Weinberg Medical Physics, Inc. a $100,000 Project Grant (R41AG085838) to conduct a comprehensive clinical study on using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) guided by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and electroencephalography (EEG) to treat balance deficits in elderly patients with a history of falls. The project aims to build on early human study data showing that this TMS-based...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) under the Discovery and Applied Research for Technological Innovations to Improve Human Health program (CFDA 93.286) will fund the development of a biomarker-integrated transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) telehealth platform. The $2,151,665.00 award will support the verification of using heart rate variability (HRV) as a biomarker to individualize and optimize tDCS dosing for...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under CFDA 93.173 - Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders aims to investigate the potential for transcranial alternating current stimulation (TACS) to enhance intelligibility and reduce listening effort for older adults struggling with speech-on-speech understanding. The $1,330,971 award to Trustees of Boston University will fund a 2-year exploratory study to compare...
