Slow Oscillatory Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation during a Restricted Sleep Opportunity Enhances Cognitive Performance during Subsequent Wakefulness

John Hughes, Tracy Jill Doty, Thomas J. Balkin

SO-tDCS during restricted sleep improves cognitive performance and memory retention during subsequent wakefulness compared to sham stimulation.

Resolving the Deep Sleep Dual Indeterminacy Problem: Context-Dependent Slow-Wave Activity Modeling Predicts Neurobehavioral Fatigue Where Clinical Sleep Modeling Fails

Shashaank Vattikuti, Hua Xie, Carson C. Chow…·John Hughes

The paper shows that slow-wave activity (SWA) predicts neurobehavioral fatigue differently during sleep and wakefulness, outperforming clinical sleep metrics in modeling recovery from sleep deprivation.

REM-like Oscillatory Theta Activity Predicts a Reduction in the Recuperative Value of Natural Human Sleep

Shashaank Vattikuti, Tracy Jill Doty, Samantha M. Riedy…·John D Hughes

The paper examines whether REM sleep incurs sleep debt by developing a novel measure of REM-like theta activity and finding it correlates with increased sleep debt.
