Recent findings show that long-term exposure to 40 Hz sensory stimulation may help preserve brain volume, support daily function, and sustain brain connectivity in individuals with Alzheimer’s. These outcomes reinforce the growing interest in gamma entrainment and offer encouraging alignment with the multi-sensory approach used in EVY.

🧠 What exactly is gamma oscillation, and why does it matter? In this clip, world-renowned neurologist Dr. David Perlmutter (@davidperlmutter) and OptoCeutics CEO Mai Nguyen take a step back to explain the science behind 40 Hz stimulation. This specific frequency is known to enhance gamma oscillations, brainwave patterns linked to focus, memory, and mental clarity. By stimulating this natural rhythm in the brain, researchers believe we may be able to support healthier cognition, especially in aging populations.
