Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2019 Slow waves, the electroencephalographic (EEG) hallmark of deep sleep, can be systematically manipulated by acoustic stimulation: stimulation time-locked to the down phase of slow waves reduces, whereas stimulation time-locked to the up phase increases ...

Speech Recognition and Acoustic Features in Combined Electric and Acoustic Stimulation [PDF]
Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2012 Purpose In this study, the authors aimed to identify speech information processed by a hearing aid (HA) that is additive to information processed by a cochlear implant (CI) as a function of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Method Speech recognition was measured with CI alone, HA alone ...

Enhancement of Sleep Quality and Stability Using Acoustic Stimulation During Slow Wave Sleep
International Clinical Neuroscience Journal, 2018 Background: One of the challenges today is that the quality of sleep has weakened by many external factors, which we are not even aware of and which directly affect sleep.

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 ...
