Thanks for clarifying and providing more details. We're working with closed loop auditory stimulation for sleep (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-017-02170-3 https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-017-02170-3) as well as other similar techniques. We've been speaking with neurologists here in Australia who are giving us guidance, but if you have any thoughts, I'd be very keen to hear them. Either here, or via email. My address is in my profile. Thanks

Cool! We did some work on DARPA's RAM REPLAY program, and there was a consortium trying that for "tagging" memories: they'd pair something to be memorized with a sound during (awake) study sessions, and then play the sound to a sleeping participant to reactivate that memory during sleep. Stephen Simons was the lead from Teledyne; there were also folks from UCR and Endonovo Therapeutics, I think. It sorta seemed to work (here's the paper: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnhum.2018.00028/full https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnhum.2018.0002...) , though I remember they ended up needing to build a fancy system to optimize the cue volume so it was loud but not so loud that it woke the participants up.

  WOW!!! That's awesome. I've read about that work, and other similar studies. We've had a brief chat with the Australian Navy about some of our tech. It's a fascinating field. We come from CSIRO (Australia's version of DARPA), so have some experience commercializing research. But I think we've been surprised at how bad some of the sleep studies are. :o
