To circumvent this barrier, the electrodes and hair are separated as much as possible creating a "sticky" cleanup process.  Figure A shows the traditional set up for a sleep monitor while Figure B shows an at home device sleep monitoring system (Kwon et al., 2021).]]> 2023-02-03 12:52:10 UTC https://padlet.com/sarahine/v2pathh059u21l2i/wish/2467518256 sarahine https://padlet.com/sarahine/v2pathh059u21l2i/wish/2467518410 -Devices to monitor brain activity not as effective due to user attachment or decreased number of connections
-Time consuming set up for participant and no assistance from sleep study team member
-Sensor and skin must have direct contact
-Still in early stages of research and use, long-term outcomes not yet measured
-Sleep studies are still a fairly new area of researched medicine, lots to be learned!

-Participants can sleep in his or her own bed and home
-More cost effective
-More freedom in scheduling
-Can measure a participants sleep more than one night for a broader view of results

Commander: Keeping the group working towards the goal.
Focus: Help with remaining focused, not only on the goal to learn how to best utilize a sleep measuring device, but also help with participants when frequent redirection is warranted.
Develops: Developer skills will guide and assist the project as pivots are needed to optimize a sleep measuring device.
Restoration: Restorative skill will come in handy at all levels of this project.  Challenges and conflict will arise in both the group working together, but also working with participants.  Conflict resolution is a key component to positive outcomes.]]> 2023-02-03 13:54:39 UTC https://padlet.com/sarahine/v2pathh059u21l2i/wish/2467595936 sarahine https://padlet.com/sarahine/v2pathh059u21l2i/wish/2469171894 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2589004221004296

Amelia the Adapter: Amelia would be good in sales by creating and growing those relationships.  Not only with the participants, but also vendors.
Competition Chloe: Chloe can keep the group driven and motivated to continue to learn and modify the device, but also keep production going with increased sales.
Carols Context: Carol uses her past experiences to learn and can help lead by what has and hasn't worked in the past.
Faith in the Future: Faith can help keep the group looking towards the future. By having both future and past looking at the same item, hindsight is just that much more attainable too!]]> 2023-02-07 03:48:45 UTC https://padlet.com/sarahine/v2pathh059u21l2i/wish/2471129923
