Researchers devise ways to reduce noise, improve sleep in nursing homes
...ne speaker. "These interventions reduce echoes and reverberations in hallways and rooms," said Krishan Ahuja, a Regents researcher at GTRI and a professor of aerospace engineering at Georgia Tech. "We have the noise-absorbing panels, ways to reduce the noise of banging doors, special hooks for curtains, and we even...Evidence that memories are consolidated during sleep

We've now demonstrated that these reverberations occur in a much more distributed manner over the forebrain, and for a very long time period. Importa...... enhanced during slow-wave sleep. Because neuronal reverberations are sustained for long periods, this may support a mechanism to recall and amplify memories until they are effectively stored. On the basis of differences observed between REM and slow-wave sleep in this and previous studies, the authors propose that...
