Effects of Auditory Stimulation on Sleep and Memory in Schizophrenia
March 18, 2024 updated by: Dara S. Manoach, PhD, Massachusetts General Hospital
The investigators will test the hypothesis that auditory stimulation (playing quiet sounds during sleep) can normalize brain activity during sleep and improve memory in patients with schizophrenia.
The investigators will do this by measuring sleep and memory performance under two conditions separated by one week: receiving auditory stimulation during sleep and not receiving auditory stimulation during sleep.
The investigators will study healthy subjects and outpatients with schizophrenia.

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Differences in slow-oscillation spindle coupling
Time Frame: Placebo and auditory stimulation naps will be approximately one week apart
|
Differences in slow oscillation-spindle coupling during non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep as measured by EEG between placebo and auditory stimulation naps
|
Placebo and auditory stimulation naps will be approximately one week apart
|
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Differences in sleep-dependent consolidation of motor procedural memory
Time Frame: Placebo and auditory stimulation naps will be approximately one week apart
|
Differences in sleep-dependent improvement of motor procedural memory performance on the finger tapping motor sequence task (MST) between placebo and auditory stimulation naps.
The MST involves pressing four numerically labeled keys on a standard keypad, repeating a 5 digit sequence as quickly and accurately as possible for 12 trials at 30 seconds each separated by 30 sec rest periods.
Different sequences are employed for the placebo and stimulation visits in a counter-balanced order.

Placebo and auditory stimulation naps will be approximately one week apart
|
Differences in slow oscillations
Time Frame: Placebo and auditory stimulation naps will be approximately one week apart
|
Differences in slow oscillations during non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep as measured by EEG between placebo and auditory stimulation naps
|
Placebo and auditory stimulation naps will be approximately one week apart
|
Differences in sleep spindles
Time Frame: Placebo and auditory stimulation naps will be approximately one week apart
|
Differences in sleep spindles during non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep as measured by EEG between placebo and auditory stimulation naps
|
Placebo and auditory stimulation naps will be approximately one week apart
