A Wearable Stimulator for Deep Sleep
June 28, 2022 | Terry Sharrer
“Here, we [neuroscientists at ETH Zurich] established whether the application of auditory stimulation can be performed in older adults over several nights remotely in their own homes. In a trial, we used a mobile device to deliver auditory stimulation during sleep and measured its effects on slow waves, mood, and vigilance. Although we showed robust increases in slow waves, we found large effect differences between participants and also between different nights within the same participants. We looked for predictors of these effect differences. Our study showed that in-home auditory stimulation is feasible, and may help to guide future auditory stimulation strategies.” MORE
