While this works well in the laboratory under controlled conditions, there has been no at-home solution that can be used for a time longer than just one night.As part of the SleepLoop project, researchers have developed a mobile system that can be u

This headband contains electrodes（电极）and a microchip that can constantly measure the brain activity of the sleeping p
31、erson. As soon as the sleeping person shows slow waves in the brain activity, the system will set off a short auditory signal. This helps synchronize（使同步）the neuronal cells and enhance the slow waves. What makes the solution unique is that the sleeping person is not consciously aware of this sound d
32、uring deep sleep.Its the first time that the researchers, led by Caroline Lustenberger, have conducted a clinical study with this device. The study involved equipping participants, between 60 and 80 years old, with the SleepLoop system, which they were required to operate in their own homes. The sys
33、tem is designed to function independently even for users with little technical experience. “This worked very well. We had surprisingly little data loss and the participants rated the device as user-friendly,” says Lustenberger.The participants wore the device every night for a total of four weeks. T
34、he results showed it was indeed possible to enhance the slow waves through auditory signals during deep sleep in most participants. However, individual differences were considerable, which can be used to better predict how a given individual will respond to the auditory stimulus. The company ToSoo A

Its already clear that itll not be freely available, but only via a doctors prescription. “Use of the device must be medically indicated,” a researcher says.28. What did researchers of the SleepLoop

But if you stand up in front of that same group of people and tell them a story, something different will happen.Researchers have now quantified the emotional benefits of a well-told tale. “We know that stories can transpor
41、t us to another world,” says Guilherme Brockington, the lead author of the new paper. Earlier research suggests that stories help children process and regulate their emotions - but it was mostly conducted in a laboratory, with subjects answering questions while lying inside MRI machines. There are f
42、ew studies on psychological effects of storytelling in more commonplace scenes, such as hospitals.So investigators working in several hospitals split a total of 81 patients aged between four and eleven into two groups, matching them with storytellers who had a decade of hospital experience. In one g
43、roup, the storyteller led each child in playing a riddle game. In the other, youngsters chose books and listened as the storyteller read them aloud. Before and after these sessions, the researchers let each child spit into a tube, then asked them to report their pain levels and conducted a free-asso
44、ciation word quiz.Based on the analysis of each tube of saliva（唾液），the researchers found children in both groups showed lower levels of the stress-related hormone（荷尔蒙）called cortisol and higher levels of oxytocin, a feel-good hormone. However, the cortisol levels of kids in the storytelling group we
45、re a quarter of those in the riddle group, and their oxytocin levels were nearly twice as high. Those who heard stories also reported pain levels dropping almost twice as much as those in the riddle group, and they used more positive words.Next, the investigators plan to study how long these effects
