Summary
The aim of this project is to investigate whether enhancing sleep intensity locally in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) can counteract a deterioration of cognitive control and therefore the previously described increase in risk seeking during chronic sleep restriction. To this end, a controlled, counter-balanced study, consisting of two weeks of sleep restriction will be performed. During one of the sleep restriction weeks, sleep intensity in the PFC will be non-invasively enhanced by acoustic stimulation of slow waves during sleep.
