The experimental study of electroencephalographic slow wave sleep (SWS) stretches over
more than half a century and has corroborated its importance for basic physiological …

Dementia is the seventh leading cause of mortality, and a major source of disability and
dependency in older individuals globally. Cognitive decline (and, to a lesser extent, normal …

Background Auditory stimulation has emerged as a promising tool to enhance non-
invasively sleep slow waves, deep sleep brain oscillations that are tightly linked to sleep …

Drawing from the neuroscience literature and recent advancements in sleep technology, we
examine how closed loop acoustic stimulation can improve employee sleep and subsequent …

Abstract Study Objectives Cortical slow oscillations (SOs) and thalamocortical sleep
spindles hallmark slow wave sleep and facilitate memory consolidation, both of which are …

Abstract Study Objectives The low-frequency high-amplitude oscillations of slow-wave sleep
(SWS) are considered to promote the consolidation of episodic memory. Previous research …

Sleep is essential for our physical and mental well-being. During sleep, despite the paucity
of overt behavior, our brain remains active and exhibits a wide range of coupled brain …

Sleep plays a critical role in the process of memory consolidation. In particular, during non-
rapid eye movement (NREM) slow wave sleep, slow-oscillations, spindles, hippocampal …

The last decade has seen significant progress in identifying sleep mechanisms that support
cognition. Most of these studies focus on the link between electrophysiological events of the …

Background Sleep and neurodegeneration are assumed to be locked in a bi-directional
vicious cycle. Improving sleep could break this cycle and help to prevent …
