Tone‐Evoked Sleep Electroencephalographic Slow Oscillations as a Function of Peripheral Rhythms: New Insights Into the Brain–Heart Integration

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Recent studies have shown that acoustic stimulation, a common neuromodulation technique, can enhance slow‐wave activity (SWA), which is associated with immune, autonomic nervous system activity and cognitive health benefits. Despite some disagreement, many studies suggest that maximising tone‐evoked SWA depends on the timing of the acoustic ...
