Alzheimer\'s disease is characterized by progressive cognitive decline, and cognition is associated with cerebral concussion. Previous studies have found reduced gamma energy in the brain of AD patients. Therefore, modulation of gamma activity in AD patients may help improve cognitive function. The purpose of this study was to investigate the safety and tolerability of transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) combined with 40Hz sound stimulation in patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer\'s disease (AD); to compare the effects of tACS combined with sound stimulation, tACS, and 40Hz sound stimulation on cognition in AD patients; and the effects of tACS combined with sound stimulation, tACS, and 40Hz sound stimulation on brain network connectivity in AD patients before and after tACS.
