About the Project

As we continue to understand the effects of repeated low-level blast exposure (rLLBE) on neurological health, our understanding of the impact of this exposure on one key biological function is missing: sleep. Join the SWORD Lab in a field study to characterize sleep post-rLLBE in a schoolhouse that teaches breaching methods.
