Dementia is the seventh leading cause of mortality, and a major source of disability and
dependency in older individuals globally. Cognitive decline (and, to a lesser extent, normal …

Slow-wave sleep is the deep non-rapid eye-movement (NREM) sleep stage that is most
relevant for the recuperative function of sleep. Its defining property is the presence of slow …

Background Sleep and neurodegeneration are assumed to be locked in a bi-directional
vicious cycle. Improving sleep could break this cycle and help to prevent …

Brain rhythms of sleep reflect neuronal activity underlying sleep‐associated memory
consolidation. The modulation of brain rhythms, such as the sleep slow oscillation (SO), is …

Slow‐wave sleep (SWS) is a fundamental physiological process, and its modulation is of
interest for basic science and clinical applications. However, automatised protocols for the …

Sleep is a potential early, modifiable risk factor for cognitive decline and dementia. Impaired
slow wave sleep (SWS) is pronounced in individuals with cognitive impairment (CI) …

Introduction In young healthy adults, phase-locked acoustic stimulation (PLAS) during slow
wave sleep (SWS) can boost over-night episodic memory consolidation. In older adults …

Electroencephalography (EEG) is a noninvasive neuroimaging technique that records
neurological brain activities via electrodes on the scalp, capturing voltage potentials …
