๐ด A Skin Patch Uses Ultrasound to Boost Your REM Sleep โ No Drugs or Surgery Needed
UT Austin's NEUSLeeP device is a soft wearable patch that sends gentle ultrasound waves to stimulate deep brain regions while monitoring activity in real time. In a 28-person trial published in Nature Communications, it cut time to reach REM by 43 minutes and extended REM duration by about 16 minutes on average โ with signs of improved stress regulation too. Could wearable neurostimulation replace sleep aids within the decade?
