The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is soliciting innovative proposals that leverage emerging neuromodulation technologies to enhance sleep efficiency and performance under sleep-restricted conditions.
The Reengineering Enabling Sleep Transitions in Operationally Restrictive
credit:
Environments (RESTORE) program aims to develop multimodal, multitarget, noninvasive neuromodulation methods to repair disrupted sleep architectures caused by sleep restriction, with the ultimate goal of improving cognitive performance.
Proposed research should investigate innovative approaches that enable revolutionary advances in the mechanisms of sleep related to performance psychology.
Specifically excluded is research that primarily results in evolutionary improvements to the existing state of practice.
