c495: 494: Nobel Prize-level (2)

"I’ve asked a friend to find relevant specialists to perform a detailed breakdown of the sound."

"Hopefully, through repeated experiments, we can identify which specific melody or melody of a particular frequency is causing the effect."

Wang Chuan handed a peeled boiled egg to Yanyan.

"Feifan, what’s the next step after you find this melody?"

Yan Feifan also finished peeling a boiled egg, but it was snatched away by the quick-eyed, fast-handed Yan Ziruo.

He had no choice but to grab another egg. "Director," he said as he peeled, "this sound is only effective on you and me, and the effect is significant."

"My hypothesis is that a certain melody or frequency in the sound is creating a sympathetic resonance with the sleep control center in the brainstem, causing it to become more active and accelerating our sleep onset."

"If my hypothesis proves to be correct, it suggests that each person’s brainstem sleep control center should have a specific ’stimulus key’."

By this point, Yan Feifan had finished peeling the egg in his hand and casually gave it to Yu Suye, who was beside him.

He picked up another egg.

"Perhaps, through certain tests, we could find each person’s stimulus key. This could be used to regulate sleep and reduce the reliance on sleeping pills for those who suffer from insomnia or sleep deprivation."

Wang Chuan chuckled. "Based on your research, we could create a sleep regulation device."

"There’s the flagship product for Extraordinary Medical Technology’s next phase."

Yan Feifan gave a small smile. "That would require the research to go smoothly and for the cost of finding these stimulus keys to be low..."

Just then, a coquettish shout interrupted him. "Mr. Yan..."

Yan Feifan looked at Tian Yu, who had called out. He was rendered speechless when he saw her pouting and pointing at the newly peeled egg in his hand.

He tossed the egg in his hand to the young girl and picked up the last boiled egg from the plate.

"Director, I also thought of something else..."

Yan Feifan said slowly, "A large percentage of today’s patients in a vegetative state or deep coma are in that condition due to brainstem injuries."

"If this stimulus key can promote sleep, could it be reverse-engineered to induce rapid awakening in a person?"

Hearing this, Wang Chuan’s expression grew solemn.

He pondered for a moment, then said, "Theoretically, your analysis is viable."

Wang Chuan couldn’t help but grow excited.

"Feifan, if you can use this sound resonance to develop an effective method for rapidly awakening patients in a vegetative state due to brainstem damage..."

"That would be a Nobel Prize-level research achievement."

Those words made Yan Feifan’s heart race.

However, he quickly calmed himself down.

"If the Nobel Prize were that easy to get, our country wouldn’t have so few laureates."

"What I’ve said is just an optimistic possibility based on theoretical analysis. The experimental results could very well be a different story."

"There’s a high probability that it’s just wishful thinking."

Yan Feifan said hopefully, "I’ll be satisfied if we can just successfully produce a research outcome like a sleep promotion and regulation device first."

Wang Chuan encouraged him, "For you, anything is possible."

"I’ll take your good words, Director. I hope so!"

After speaking, Yan Feifan took a large bite out of the boiled egg in his hand...
