Does slow oscillation-spindle coupling contribute to sleep-dependent memory consolidation? A Bayesian meta-analysis

#sleeppeeps check out this new meta-analysis which provides great guidance on spindle-slow oscillation measurement which has been highly variable across papers! This work was done in my lab @umass by Thea Ng, an undergraduate @MountHolyoke!

We’ve been using the Activinsight Genactivs for over a year. They’re great. We had a study with Fitbits and fits hitting the shan accessing that data now that Google took over!

Will this
A. be a major shift in the review process or
B. reviewers will force-fit their biased ways into the new structure and nothing will change?

This is more conservative than I thought we should be. If NIH funded a dataset that is analyzed to answer something quite different than the grant scope, wouldn’t you still credit that grant? (E.g., If someone uses my actigraphy data to study physical activity) This would say no?

The older population would probably sleep better if reassured of a natural decline in sleep with age that may not all be linked to devastating consequences. We don’t actually know how much they need so to say it’s not enough is a bit of a lie. It’s the dirty little secret of the sleep field!
