Investigation of auditory arousal with different alarm signals in sleeping older adults
Dorothy Bruck, Ian Richard Thomas, Ada Kritikos · Victoria University Research Repository (Victoria University) · 2006
The overall goal of the project is to optimize the performance requirements for alarm and signalling systems to meet the needs of an aging population. The study also examines increased cognitive confusion and performance impairment (sleep inertia) that may influence effective and timely evacuation behaviour upon awakening in an older adult population.
