The Impact of Family Income and Breast Milk on Infant Brain Development

Originally Published 2 years ago — by PsyPost

New research suggests that family income is linked to infant brain activity and development during the first two years of life. Infants from lower-income families showed lower brain activity at 2-3 months but experienced a faster increase in brain activity from 2-9 months. The study, which used EEG data to track changes in brain activity, highlights the importance of early experiences in shaping brain development and may inform interventions to support optimal growth in children from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds. Further research is needed to understand the underlying mechanisms and factors influencing these associations.

Closed Loop Acoustic Stimulation: The Key to Better Sleep and Work Performance

Originally Published 2 years ago — by PsyPost

Closed loop acoustic stimulation, a wearable sleep-improvement device, can improve both sleep quality and work outcomes, according to a study published in the Journal of Applied Psychology. The technique involves enhancing slow brain wave patterns during sleep using an algorithm that takes EEG data from a sleeping person and plans precisely timed auditory tones. The study found that closed loop acoustic stimulation improved slow-wave sleep and had a positive impact on engagement, performance, and citizenship behaviors at work the following day. However, the device tended to work better for younger employees and was relatively ineffective for older employees.
