Acoustic Stimulation During Sleep
In this sleep laboratory study initiated by the University of Amsterdam, your sleep will be measured using standard polysomnography while subtle, non-arousing sounds will be presented during the night.

How can you participate?
In this study initiated by the University of Amsterdam, we examine how subtle and non-arousing sounds interact with natural sleep processes. The goal of this study is to evaluate how these sounds influence slow oscillations via closed-loop auditory stimulation and to assess their impact on sleep quality.
Participation involves 2 overnight stays at the UvA Sleep and Memory Lab. During these nights, we will monitor your sleep using high-density polysomnography, a standard and widely used method for measuring brain activity and other physiological signals during sleep.
During specific phases of sleep, subtle and non-arousing sounds may be presented. These are carefully timed and are not intended to wake you up.
You will receive a total of 70 euros as compensation for your participation.
