New app uses brainwaves to track sleep quality - Technology - GMA News Online - Latest Philippine News: "TOKYO — A new app that aims to improve both the quantity and quality of sleep uses brainwaves to track the amount of time spent in different stages of sleep.
Called Sleep Manager, the app synchronizes with a headset that measures brain activity, eye movement and other signals in light, deep and REM (rapid eye movement) sleep.
"The thing about sleep is that it's not just about how much you get — it's about the quality of your sleep," said Ben Rubin, co-founder of Zeo, which makes the app.
"In general, you want to optimize to get as much REM and deep sleep as possible."
A soft-sensor headband measures brainwave activity, muscle tone and eye movements, the same signals that would be taken by a professional sleep lab, but at a consumer level.
