The Rhythmic Revolution

There's a new frontier in brain longevity research that doesn't start with a pill — it starts with rhythm. Scientists at MIT's Picower Institute have explored whether exposing the senses to gentle, precisely timed pulses of light and sound at 40 Hz can help the brain maintain stable function over time.

This 40 Hz rhythm sits in the brain's gamma band, associated with attention, working memory, and sensory integration. The method is known as GENUS — Gamma Entrainment Using Sensory stimuli.
