The process of population aging is accelerating continuously. In elderly care institutions, a considerable number of elderly people are experiencing a gradual decline in cognitive abilities. Their daily memory and concentration abilities have weakened to varying degrees. This condition not only aggravates the inconvenience of individual life but also unconsciously increases the operational pressure of the institution's overall care. Non-pharmaceutical attribute music intervention has the practical advantages of low implementation threshold and wide adaptability scenarios. When combined with technical means such as AI music generation and EEG index capture, and integrated with existing knowledge in neuroscience, it can to some extent activate the corresponding functional areas of the brain and delay the process of cognitive decline. This paper focuses on analyzing four implementation methods that can be directly applied to actual care. It is hoped to provide some practical references for elderly care institutions to carry out cognitive care work, and also to help the elderly improve the quality of their lives in old age.
