I am a tad perturbed that a quick skim didn't present to my eyes any statements along the lines of "But we never tried it, at all, so take it with a grain of salt."
Either that or I somehow completely missed the table showing the effect of the schedule on subjects vs. controls, or any other sort of experimental confirmation whatsoever.
To be clear I don't object to the analysis or its methods, I object that it's not being clearly confessed to be an analysis in bold letters.
- monochr 12y agoThis just a numerical simulation on two (simple) models of the human sleep cycle system that tries to find a more efficient way of shifting the cycle of those methods. I've only spend 40 minutes reading the paper so far and only have a superficial understanding of it, but to me it looks like they are using a somewhat oscillator like model and looking to introduce a phase shift in the response by driving it with different input functions. There is no experimental verification whatsoever. This is why this was in the computational biology section of plosone.
- realitygrill 12y agoI've been meaning to ask if you've read up on chronotherapeutics; when I read the book (that I cited above, in top-level) a few months ago it seemed to explain why the melatonin procedure that MetaMed gave you worked - a full biological basis. I didn't follow that up, though, since I was trying to fix my own DSPS.
