Alzheimer's Disease

Interventions

Group A (Memory Encoding Phase):The subjects underwent two memory tests on the first and third days of the intervention, with stimulation provided during the picture learning phase, one being a sham s
Group B (Memory Consolidation Period):Subjects were given real/false stimuli during the sleep stages on the first and third days. The order of real/false stimuli was also randomized.
Group C (Memory Retrieval Phase):The subjects were given stimuli during the test phases on the first and third days, with one being a sham stimulus and the other a real stimulus. There was a one-day i
