The fewer slow waves an individual has over their right prefrontal cortex during deep sleep, the greater their propensity for risk.
According to the University of Bern's latest research, the brain waves during sleep can determine the extent of an individual's propensity for risk.
To determine whether this profile reveals anything about an individual's propensity for risk, the research team studied 54 'good sleepers,' who typically sleep for seven to eight hours. These were identified using actigraphs, which track the patterns of movement during sleep.
Researchers at the University of Bern have demonstrated that the brain waves during sleep can determine the extent of an individual's propensity for risk.
