Recommendations

At first, you might want to explore the basic Visual and Auditory treatment methods. Then, you can try their combination for maximum efficiency. The final two pages, although not fully studied to yield positive results (it doesn’t cause harm in any manner, though), might serve as an ultimate tool to implement treatment into your daily life.

We recommend conducting sessions of minimum length of 30 minutes several times a week, for consistent exposure. Results should appear after two months of consistent treatment.

BLT

Bright Light Stimulation. It has been recently proven that watching light flickering at roughly 40 Hz frequency is beneficial for the reduction of dementia symptoms. This page provides the user with an easy tool to display and adjust such a screen for an effective self-treatment.
This page also offers a mix between multiple techniques using our sound library and the ability to upload your own audio. However, we advise you to explore individual techniques before mixing them together.

40 Hz Generator

Similarly to observing flickering light, listening to an audio at roughly 40 Hz frequency is beneficial for the reduction of dementia symptoms. This page provides the user with an easy tool to play and adjust the audio for an effective self-treatment.

Binaural generator

40 Hz audio stimulus is doubtlessly effecive, however, it might induce slight dizziness and minor headaches. Binaural beat is an approach, which helps to avoid that. Despite being slightly less effective, this page can be prove itself useful for the users, who feel uncomfortable listening to a standart 40 Hz stimulus.

40Hz converter

Using this tool you will be able to implemet dementia treatment in your daily life. Just appload your audio file into our converter (it can be aything: a song, a podcast, even some white noise) and the tool will overlap a 40 Hz modulation wave on top of it.
We must inform you that this tool doesn't have any clinical or direct scientific evidence, we are currently researching the efficiency of this type of treatment. However, it most certainly should not cause any harm and theoretically will improve your wellbeing.

Binaural converter

As it was already mentioned in dedicated Binaural Beat section, one might feel dizzy while listening to a 40 Hz sound-wave. So, in case you feel uncomfortable while using our 40 Hz converter, this tool is for you.

Science and references

Any 40 Hz stimulus entrains your brain to increase the amplitude of gamma brain rhythms, which are usually depressed in dementia patients. This entertainment helps to reduce the symptoms and serves as a non-invasive treatment. Above applies to both Bright Light Stimulation and 40 Hz audio stimulation. In case of Binaural beat entrainment is achieved slightly differently: the audio of two distinct frequencies, which are 40 Hz apart from each other (e.g. 300 and 340 Hz) are played in your right and left ear; the brain measures the difference between two signals, and therefore undergoes entrainment.
