Sloom

Sloom is an innovative device designed to improve memory retention using Targeted Memory Reactivation (TMR) technology. This ongoing project, currently patent pending through the US Patent Office, aims to leverage the latest research in sleep and cognition to create a consumer-friendly product.

Developed during my major project at university, Sloom combines advanced technology and rigorous research. The device utilizes electroencephalography (EEG), an accelerometer, and a machine learning algorithm trained using a neural network to accurately pinpoint sleep stages. This ensures that specific audio cues are delivered during optimal sleep stages, when the brain is most receptive to memory processing. This method accelerates learning and memorization by reinforcing learned information effectively.

Key features of Sloom include:

• 4-Channel EEG Monitoring: Sloom continuously monitors brain activity to identify the best moments for delivering audio cues. These cues are essential for enhancing memory consolidation during sleep.
• Machine Learning Algorithm: The device integrates EEG data and accelerometer readings into a machine learning algorithm to accurately estimate the user's sleep stage. This ensures audio cues are delivered at peak memory consolidation phases.
• User-Friendly Design: Designed to be worn comfortably during sleep, Sloom integrates with a mobile application. Users can select audio cues during the day, which are then stored on the cloud, synced to Sloom, and played automatically during sleep.

Sloom represents a significant advancement in applying sleep science for cognitive enhancement. It is the first device to implement TMR accurately outside of controlled research settings, bringing cutting-edge technology to everyday applications. By integrating Sloom into nightly routines, users can enjoy enhanced memory retention and gain insights into their sleep patterns.

Supported by current research, TMR has proven effective for memory improvement, placing Sloom at the forefront of sleep-enhancement technology. This device offers a tool for individuals aiming to improve their learning and memorization capabilities through effective, non-invasive means. Stay tuned for more updates on this groundbreaking project as we move towards finalizing the design and preparing for market launch.
