BEL's CEO, Dr. Don Tucker, gives a talk to the Haghayegh laboratory in anesthesiology at Harvard/MGH about BEL's Research Program to understand the mechanisms of Slow Oscillation.

Dr. Roma Shusterman had a theory. The Chief Technology Officer at Neurosom™, Inc., thought he could better harness AI, or the Large Language Model (LLMs), than previously done, to create an effective sleep therapist – despite current opinions that AI wasn’t ready to be used for medical advice.

Join us as Dr. Roma Shusterman, our Chief Technology Officer, explains how our sleep coach provides the best advice on getting a good night's rest. The AI technology is integrated with our Neurosom Sleep Therapy system to introduce a complete reset for those struggling with sleep.

About 170 billion cells are in the brain, and as they go about their regular tasks, they produce waste — a lot of it. To stay healthy, the brain needs to wash away all that debris. But how exactly it does this has remained a mystery.

The goal is not just a more restful slumber. Groundbreaking discoveries made in the past decade have revealed that the brain has a power-washing system that switches into high gear during deep sleep, flushing away harmful waste. This nightly cleanup is part of the restorative power of sleep and revives concentration, memory and motor skills.

Initial observations with the human electroencephalogram (EEG) have interpreted slow oscillations (SOs) of the EEG during deep sleep (N3) as reflecting widespread surface-negative traveling waves that originate in frontal regions and propagate across the neocortex.

Researchers have proposed that impaired sleep may be a causal link in the progression from Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) to Alzheimer's Disease (AD). Several recent findings suggest that enhancing deep sleep (N3) may improve neurological health in persons with MCI, and buffer the risk for AD.
