Problems solved by technology

The present disclosure overcomes deficiencies in prior art systems, particularly those associated with habituation (i.e., a reduction in the potentiation effect of slow wave activity due to a lack of perceived novelty in the stimulus)

Embodiment Construction

[0015] As used herein, the singular forms "a", "an" and "the" include plural referents unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. As used herein, the statement that two or more parts or components are "coupled" shall mean that the parts are joined together, directly or indirectly (i.e., through one or more intermediate parts or components) or run together whenever linking occurs. As used herein, "directly coupled" means that two elements are in direct contact with each other. As used herein, "fixedly coupled" or "fixed" means that two components are coupled so as to move as one while maintaining a constant orientation relative to each other.

[0016] As used herein, the word "unitary" means that a component is created as a single piece or unit. That is, a component that includes pieces that are created separately and then coupled together as a unit is not a "unitary" component or body. As employed herein, the statement that two or more parts or components "engage" one a...

Abstract

The present disclosure describes a system configured to adjust the duration of individual sensory stimuli provided to a subject. The system is configured to determine a current amount of slow wave activity in the subject; responsive to the subject being presently in slow wave sleep, control one or more sensory stimulators to provide the individual sensory stimuli to the subject; determine habituation of the subject to the individual sensory stimuli and; responsive to the slow wave activity in the subject for a period of time following the providing of the individual sensory stimuli showing habituation, adjust the duration of the individual sensory stimuli.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to a system and method for modulating the duration of sensory stimulation during sleep to enhance slow wave activity in a subject. Background technique [0002] Systems for monitoring sleep are known. Sensory stimulation during sleep is known. Sensory stimulation during sleep is typically applied continuously at intervals and / or intensities that do not necessarily correspond to the subject's sleep pattern. The present disclosure overcomes deficiencies in prior art systems, particularly those associated with habituation (ie, a reduction in the potentiation effect of slow wave activity due to a lack of perceived novelty in the stimulus). Contents of the invention [0003] Accordingly, one or more aspects of the present disclosure relate to a system configured to adjust parameters of individual sensory stimuli provided to a subject. The system includes: a sensory stimulator configured to provide the individual sensory s...
