Improving sleep via phase-locked auditory stimulation in patients with amnestic mild cognitive impairment

Western Interdisciplinary Research Building (WIRB)

Many older adults start to experience poorer sleep quality as they age, which can be associated with worse memory and cognition. Previous studies have shown that sleep can be improved when quiet sounds are presented at the right times during slow-wave sleep. We are interested in whether we can improve sleep and associated memory and cognitive function using these sounds in older adults.
