If this were to translate to humans, verifying that such a light stimulus can induce a 40\u200aHz entrainment response in humans and harnessing insights from these case studies could be one step in the development of a multisensory device to prevent and treat AD.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objective:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Verify the inducement of a 40\u200aHz response in the human brain by a 40\u200aHz light stimulus and obtain insights that could potentially aid in the development of a multisensory device for the prevention and treatment of AD.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Electroencephalographic brain activity was recorded simultaneously with application of stimulus at different frequencies and intensities.

The high intensity 40\u200aHz stimulus caused widespread entrainment. The number of electrodes demonstrating entrainment increased with increasing light intensity. Largest amplitudes for the high intensity 40\u200aHz stimulus were consistently found at the primary visual cortex. There was a harmonic effect at double the frequency for the 40\u200aHz stimulus. An eyes-open protocol caused more entrainment than an eyes-closed protocol.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>It was possible to induce widespread entrainment using a 40\u200aHz light stimulus in this sample cohort.
