Ultrashort wave stimulation flushes the brain's waste and eases Alzheimer's pathology in mice
Glymphatic clearance to alleviate brain edema and Alzheimer's pathology in mice
A study reported in Science Advances shows that noninvasive ultrashort wave neuromodulation boosts glymphatic clearance, the brain's waste-flushing system, reducing traumatic brain edema and Alzheimer's-like pathology in mice. Hacker News commenters found the idea of a brain "cleanup" appealing, noting that cardio exercise and even certain animated visual patterns may stimulate cerebrospinal fluid flow in humans.
The idea of getting a brain cleaning like this sounds so appealing to me.

What sort of device is used for this? It isn't really clear.
