What this Trial Is About
The goal of this proposed research is to collect pilot data to test the hypothesis that treatment with a novel form of closed-loop digital meditation (MediTrain) will lead to a greater magnitude of gains in cognitive abilities in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), compared to OA without cognitive impairment, and will lead to improvements in quantitative measures of sleep.
