Three electrodes attached to the headband record hour by hour what happens after you close your eyes: REM (rapid eye movement), light and deep sleep (various non-REM measures, such as slow waves), nocturnal wakings and length of rest.

The researchers believe the TRN fine - tunes the brain's control over local brain regions, enhancing or reducing slow waves in certain regions so those areas can communicate with each other, or inducing some areas to become less alert when the brain is very drowsy.

Nerve cells hum along in your brain, their chitchat generating slow waves that signal sleep's nether stages.

Biorock ® reefs have turned severely eroding beaches into 15 meters of beach growth in a few years by slowing waves so that instead of eroding sand at the shore, they deposit it.
