From the Ted Talk by Dan Gartenberg: The brain benefits of deep sleep -- and how to get more of it

Unscramble the Blue Letters


Here's an image of someone's brain waves from the study that we conducted. See the bottom panel? This shows the snoud being played at that burst frequency. Now look at the brain waves in the upper part of the graph. You can see from the graph that the sound is actually producing more of these regenerative delta wvaes. We learned that we could accurately track sleep without hooking people up to electrodes and make peolpe sleep deeper. We're continuing to deeovlp the right sound environment and sleep habitat to improve people's sleep health.

Our seelp isn't as regenerative as it could be, but maybe one day soon, we could wear a small dviece and get more out of our sleep.
