Abstract

On the one hand, the creative potentials and potential harm caused by using home-based neuro-acoustic reflective-loop models for the first diagnosis and treatment of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or very early-stage dementia are explained in this study. The objective is to create an effective non-invasive cognitive support method tailored specifically for India which can be used even in places with poor health care infrastructure. By selectively modulating brain wave responses with carefully composed music interventions, the model combines EEG technology and advanced AI analysis to provide a scalable, safe approach for cognitive assessment and rehabilitation.Taking its lead from the MusiMentes thematic and conceptual framework, the research aims to achieve cultural relevancy and affordability by tapping into Indian musical sensibilities in order to devise tools suited all those with dementia. In places short of resources, whether because neurodiagnostic services which in reality do not exist cannot be reached or because economic and infrastructural restraints make them unsustainable the approach has obvious advantages.This work has been carried out at the Kashmir Advanced Scientific Research Centre (KASRC), Cluster University, Srinagar, Jammu & Kashmir, India, and it is committed to innovation in neurocognitive science and transforming the health of people at community level. The study seeks to popularize early-stage intervention for dementia and give families and carers functional tools that are effective, culturally appropriate, and suitable for crowded living environments.
