First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how sleep helps clean the brain. Researchers will use special MRI scans to see the brain's waste-clearing system in 16 healthy young adults. They will also test a headband that tracks brain waves and uses mild electrical pulses to improve sleep and brain function after a short night's sleep. The goal is to understand how poor sleep affects memory and whether the headband can help.
