A brain stimulation company is developing technology to electrically synchronize with deep sleep brain waves to boost their amplitude and size.

“they started to stimulate the brain inputting the stimulation pulses at a very slow Rhythm trying to match the rhythm of the brain in fact they were less than one Hertz less than one cycle per second in terms of a pulse... sure enough what they demonstrated they were able to boost the electrical quality of that deep sleep by about 60% and they were also able to almost double the amount of memory benefit that sleep provided”

“now I should note that there was more recently a replication attempt of that paper and they did very good job they really did it to the letter and they weren't able to replicate the effects as powerfully however subsequent Studies have now taken a more nuanced approach and it's the one that we've taken too and it's called closed loop stimulation”

“once again they boosted the size of those deep sleep brain waves they also improve those more quick burst of activity the sleep spindles and now sure enough they were able to improve memory”

“the electrical stimulation of the deep sleep of older adults which is diminished by fifty to eighty percent but giving them an electrical sort of you know stimulation to try and every time they have a deep slow-wave boosts the size of that slow wave and in doing so try to almost double the amount of memory benefit that you get from sleep”

“if you can try to essentially electrically sing in time with deep sleep brain waves you can boost the amplitude and the size of those deep sleep brain waves”
