Study Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine if the enhancement of electroencephalographic (EEG) slow-wave activity using transcranial electrical stimulation (TES) at Slow Oscillation (SO) frequency, during a restricted period of nocturnal sleep, enhances the restorative properties of that period of sleep and improves performance during a subsequent period of sleep deprivation.
Primary Outcome
Number of Participants With Abnormal Laboratory Values and/or Adverse Events That Are Related to Treatment. Vital signs (blood pressure, pulse, and temperature) will be recorded and abnormal values will be reported to PI who will determine if events meet criteria and definition of an unanticipated device effect (UADE).
