Objectives

Narrative objectives1

We will present natural environmental sounds rich in high-frequency components as background music in group homes where patients with behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) reside. As a control condition, placebo sounds will be used, consisting of the same natural environmental sounds with the high-frequency components removed. A crossover comparative trial will be conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the high-frequency components.
