Wearable ultrasound patch boosts REM sleep without drugs or surgery
Researchers at the University of Texas at Austin have developed a wearable ultrasound patch called NEUSLeeP that helps users reach REM sleep faster and stay in it longer. The device monitors brain activity and provides non-invasive stimulation, showing potential for stress reduction and mood regulation.
Researchers led by the University of Texas at Austin have created a soft wearable patch that improved REM sleep in real-world testing without medication or surgery. Known as NEUSLeeP, the device combines gentle ultrasound stimulation with electrodes that track brain activity as it happens. This allows the patch to influence deep areas of the brain involved in sleep while also monitoring the brain's response.
