About the study
*
People with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) show impairments in memory and attention and are at risk for developing dementia. Slow wave brain waves, occurring during “deep sleep”, have been associated with memory and attention and are less prominent in people with sleep apnea. This research study aims to understand whether low current brain stimulation applied on different areas can boost slow brain waves during sleep in people with obstructive sleep apnea.
Eligibility Requirements
*
Aged 40-65 years; Have moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA); Fluent in English; Able to perform cognitive tasks; Have not used treatment for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in the last 2 months
