Mathematical Models of the Use of Caffeine as a Counter Measure to the Deterioration of Neurobehaviorial Functioning During Sleep Deprivation

Abstract

The specific aims are to refine mathematical models that predict homeostatic and circadian regulation of human alertness and short-term memory during sleep deprivation, and to validate these models using data from sleep deprivation studies. Then use these models to see the effects of low dose, frequent use of caffeine. Work still needs to be done to achieve these aims.
