At present, there is no drug that completely cures dementia, and non-drug early treatment to stop the progression of symptoms is extremely important.
In this research, we researched and developed an experimental device that can be used in a high magnetic field environment by utilizing the latest results of elucidation of the brain function network of the applicants and early treatment by neurofeedback and transcranial electrical stimulation. By using a method that uses both EEG and fMRI, we are studying the brain function network of memory and proposing an early treatment method for dementia. Furthermore, we verified the effectiveness of the early treatment model for dementia through early treatment experiments, and constructed an early treatment system for dementia with multisensory neurofeedback of visual, auditory, and tactile sensations based on the brain function network of memory.
