Zurich: It has been dubbed the Sleep Loop, which has been very successful in initial experiments. This clothing suppresses the waves of the brain that interfere with sleep by emitting special frequency sounds. Gradually you fall into a deep sleep.
It is designed specifically for people whose sleep is severely affected, and especially with age, raw sleep becomes part of the routine. According to medical science, deep sleep is essential for the whole body and it also removes waste products from the brain. In addition, deep sleep is essential for the elimination of brain cell breakdown.
Dr. Caroline Lissenberger, a scientist at the ETH Zurich Neurology Laboratory, says that the slow waves in our brains (slow waves) can be further enhanced by the specific sounds of headphones. Patients in the laboratory found good results and people admitted to deep sleep, but now it remains to be tested at home.
Named the Sleep Loop, it is a type of handbag that can be worn overnight to induce deep sleep. It has electrodes and a microchip in the headband that keeps track of brain activity. Brain waves will also be noted in real time.
As soon as the brain enters deep sleep under slow waves, the sleep loop emits certain types of audible sounds, then the sleep-inducing brain waves increase the slow brain waves in harmony with it. The person trying to fall asleep in this way goes into a deep sleep unconsciously.
In the first phase, people between the ages of 60 and 80 wore cosplay loops and were included in laboratory observations. It can also be easily used at home. All participants admitted to a deep sleep after wearing it. "Wearing and operating the device is also an easy process," he said.
Participants used the tool for four weeks. The device did not work for two weeks and continued to work for two weeks. Neither the wearer nor the scientists knew about it. However, only the data was confirming this. But the sleep loop was working that very night when it came to improving sleep.
It turns out that listening sounds can boost sleep waves. But some participants found it better than others. One of the implications of this is that experts now have to improve the sleep loop for each person. ETH experts have described it as a medical device rather than a marketable product that will have room for improvement.
However, it will be further improved in the next phase.
