A comment on Apple Watch Ultra 3. Parent comment
Don't think of it as "sound", this isn't "gentle tones to help you sleep", and it isn't played during a particular "phase" of sleep.
It is specifically targeting individual slow-waves.
Think of it more like applying an electrical stimulation to a muscle while lifting weights, not just pumping heavy music into the gym.
Closed-loop neurostimulation, not neuromodulation.
