Phase-Locked stimulation means synchronizing an external stimulus (e.g., sound, light) with the phase of an internal biological oscillation (e.g., slow-wave sleep, delta waves). The external signal "locks" to the internal rhythm to amplify or entrain it.
Key Applications
- •Sleep — acoustic stimulation phase-locked to slow-wave sleep can enhance delta amplitude
- •EEG — frequency-following response to binaural beats
- •Precision — requires real-time detection of the internal rhythm (e.g., via EEG or actigraphy)
