This study presents the development of a wireless in-ear EEG device designed to monitor brain activity during sleep and deliver auditory stimuli aimed at enhancing deep sleep. The device records EEG signals and plays a combined auditory stimulus consisting of autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR) and 3 Hz binaural beats at a 60:30 dB ratio, intended to promote delta wave activity and non-rapid eye movement (NREM) stage 3 sleep. Fifteen participants completed this study, which included two consecutive nights: a baseline night and a testing night. Participants were divided into an experimental group, which received the combined ASMR and binaural beat stimulus, and a control group, which received only ASMR. The combined stimulus was delivered upon entering NREM stage 2 and replaced by ASMR when NREM stage 3 was reached. Results showed that the experimental group experienced an increase in NREM 3 sleep, a decrease in NREM 2 sleep, and a slight increase in NREM 3 latency compared to the baseline night. Although the findings are promising, further testing with a larger sample size is required to confirm the device’s potential to enhance sleep quality and promote delta activity in the brain. |
