IRB Approval!

A huge obstacle -- IRB approval -- is around the corner! 

Our "Full Board" IRB pre-review has requested only minimal clarifications and amendments (e.g., increase font size on the consent form, add Celsius degrees in addition to Fahrenheit in the protocol, etc.), suggesting our journey through IRB-land will be smooth and succinct.

Any day now!

About This Project

Sleep is beneficial for memory formation. Consequently, those with poor sleep quality (e.g., older adults) also have increased forgetfulness. Improving sleep quality using a known mechanism -- mild skin warming -- should improve memory formation in adults. Enhancing sleep by natural means (a water-infused skin-warming suit!) to enhance memory formation could impact the lives of countless older adults who suffer from memory deficits.
