The link through a gene is interesting, but that may not be the only link. We work in the sleep space at https://soundmind.co https://soundmind.co, specifically working on increasing the effectiveness of deep sleep through stimulating slow-wave oscillations. Current research in the stimulation we are using is looking at the impact of stimulating SWOs on diabetes, as well as the impact on clearing of amyloid plaques. There is also a relationship between cortisol and hypertension, cortisol is also improved through proper sleep, and the stimulation we are working with. I'm not saying altering genes is not the solution, but how many people have the FML2 gene, and this research was on zebrafish and mice. The research we are have implemented is in people.

Are you recommending people use a non-approved medical treatment?

  Relax, it's a head band that plays sounds. Not some weird peptide cooked up in a lab.

    sure it's not harmful directly, but indirectly if you're treating yourself with a headband that plays sounds you might neglect to get actual treatment.

    Actually, you'd be surprised. This is neuroscience. It is possible to collapse the SWO wave. Do this enough in one night and you'll feel like you've got a hang-over the next day. But if that were to be happening, we'd recognize in the headband that the wave is collapsing and either we are not stimming properly, or the person is having a negative response to the stim. Either way, we'd stop the stim to prevent damage.

  Absolutely not. I'm stating that research is currently underway to discover if this is an effective prevention to amyloid build up resulting in Alzheimers.

how does soundmind compare to the dreem headband?
- pedalpete 4y ago
  It's the same science. 1. We're more specific in market we are targeting (we'll be more specific as we get closer to launch based on early cohort analysis). 2. Subscription rather than big up front fee 3. Better more comfortable headband design. It's unique, but not "weird". Strangely light and cool (both temperature and style). I'll admit I'm biased, but I believe Dreem should have been a much bigger success than it was. I see from your comments you have a deep interest in sleep.
