Abstract in brief

  • The study investigated how 40 Hz light flicker affects human brain activity using EEG and found it significantly increased neural activity at that frequency, especially in the visual brain regions.
  • It also showed that 40 Hz flicker changed brain microstates and complexity measures, which are known to be altered in conditions like Alzheimer’s disease, schizophrenia, and stroke.
  • These findings suggest that 40 Hz light flicker could potentially be developed as a therapeutic tool for treating brain diseases in the future.]
