Improving sleep quality for healthy aging with wearables
Sleep is essential for a healthy brain function. Consequently, applications that improve this sleep rhythm have become a central topic in sleep research. We aim to investigate how in-home long-term applications of auditory sleep enhancement affects sleep quality, and other physiological/behavioral assessments apart from sleep in older adults
In the scope of the proposed project, the student will be involved in preparation, data acquisition, analysis and dissemination of this ambitious project. The project will involve the use of an ambulatory EEG closed-loop device that applies auditory stimulation during slow waves over a 2-week in-home intervention period (counterbalanced cross-over design). Several other assessments will be performed including sleep quality, daytime physiological parameters, behavioural, and subjective assessments using smartphone technology.
