Engineering Sleep for Cognitive Performance

Source: sbir.gov Agency: DOD Branch: DARPA Program: SBIR Phase I Topic: DPA26BZ03-DV012 Research Area: The ability to sustain cognitive performance and accelerate physiological recovery is critical in demanding operational environments. Severe sleep restriction is known to degrade essential functions by disrupting the brain's natural restorative processes [1], including glymphatic waste clearance [2,3] and synaptic plasticity, which are tightly coupled to specific neurophysiological events during sleep [4].
