Acoustic stimulation as a promising technique to enhance slow-wave sleep in Alzheimer's disease: results of a pilot study. [PDF]
J Clin Sleep Med, 2023 STUDY OBJECTIVES Sleep disturbances are common in people with Alzheimer's disease (AD), with a reduction in slow-wave activity (SWA) being the most striking underlying change.

Acoustic stimulation during sleep predicts long-lasting increases in memory performance and beneficial amyloid response in older adults. [PDF]
Age Ageing, 2023 Phase‐locked acoustic stimulation (PLAS) during slow wave sleep (SWS) is able to boost SWS and – as a downstream effect – improve sleep‐dependent memory consolidation.

Transcranial Magneto-Acoustic Stimulation Attenuates Synaptic Plasticity Impairment through the Activation of Piezo1 in Alzheimer's Disease Mouse Model. [PDF]
Research (Wash D C), 2023 The neuropathological features of Alzheimer’s disease include amyloid plaques. Rapidly emerging evidence suggests that Piezo1, a mechanosensitive cation channel, plays a critical role in transforming ultrasound-related mechanical stimuli through its ...

Acoustic Stimulator for Rats [PDF]
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1968 The ear bar of a stereo-taxic instrument was modified to permit the introduction of acoustic stimuli to the rat's eardrum during acute experiments on the auditory nervous system. For measurement of the sound pressure of pure-tone stimuli, a probe microphone was attached to the hollow ear bar so that the probe tube tip is placed near the eardrum.

Acoustic Stimulation Improves Memory and Reverses the Contribution of Chronic Sleep Deprivation to Pathology in 3xTgAD Mice [PDF]
Brain Sciences, 2022 Objective: Acoustic stimulation during sleep is believed to enhance slow waves, which are critical to memory consolidation. However, clinical trials of acoustic stimulation have yielded mixed results concerning its effectiveness in improving human memory.
