Memory formation during sleep

Project

Project Details

The laboratory investigates the interactions between episodic memory formation and brain dynamics during sleep. How are memories strengthened (‘consolidated’) overnight? What is the role of specific brain rhythms during sleep? Can we use sleep to experimentally control the extent of forgetting? To tackle these questions, a range of techniques including intracranial EEG, scalp EEG, MEG, fMRI, non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS), and behavioural testing are used.
