Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Aged between 55 and 75 years old 2. Has a diagnosis of MCI recognised by the South London and Maudsley Hospital

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Hearing levels not within sufficient range (normal and mild hearing loss [presbycusis] is accepted) as determined by the hearing test 2. Any psychiatric or neurological disorder indicated by the participant other than MCI 3. Cardiac disease 4. Uncorrected visual problems 5. Unable to follow the protocol e.g. due to language barriers meaning questionnaires/interviews cannot be conducted 6. Currently taking part in interventional studies 7. Participants who have allergies or sensitivity to gel

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
1. The entrainment of gamma oscillations measured by electroencephalogram (EEG) during testing (only one timepoint)

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Cognitive function measured by EEG, specifically the N2 and theta power during the cognitive task during testing (only one timepoint) 2. Cognitive function measured by reaction time during the cognitive task during testing (only one timepoint)
