Acoustic stimulation as a promising technique to enhance slow-wave sleep in Alzheimer’s disease: results of a pilot study [PDF]
Sleep disturbances are common in people with Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and a reduction in slow-wave activity is the most striking underlying change. Acoustic stimulation has emerged as a promising approach to enhance slow-wave activity in healthy adults ...

Acoustic stimulation during sleep predicts long-lasting increases in memory performance and beneficial amyloid response in older adults [PDF]
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]
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 Stimulation Improves Memory and Reverses the Contribution of Chronic Sleep Deprivation to Pathology in 3xTgAD Mice [PDF]
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.

Effectiveness of Place-Based Mapping in Electric-Acoustic Stimulation Devices [PDF]
Background: The default mapping procedure for electric-acoustic stimulation (EAS) devices uses the cochlear implant recipient's unaided detection thresholds in the implanted ear to derive the acoustic settings and assign the lowest frequency filter of ...
