Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Slow wave sleep plays a crucial role in overnight memory consolidation, with slow oscillations serving as a critical mechanism. Recent studies have identified closed‐loop auditory stimulation as an effective method to enhance slow oscillatory activity during slow wave sleep, thereby facilitating memory consolidation.
