The @dreamteamicm.bsky.social has launched an online survey about the things you experience when you fall asleep!
Everyone is different, so we need you to tell us!
It will take only 20 minutes, but it will mean a lot to dream researchers like us!

Teaching a seminar this semester called Body-Brain-Emotions—same name as the research group from my PhD days. My work has shifted since then, but the idea that the brain works in isolation? Still not me. 🫀🧠

Random auditory stimulation disturbs traveling slow waves and declarative memory
Sleep plays a crucial role in memory consolidation, and various methods have attempted to enhance this process by using auditory stimulation to modulate slow waves or trigger memory reactivation. Howe...

Incorporation of complex narratives into dreaming
Reactivation of waking neuronal activity during sleep holds a functional role in memory consolidation. Reprocessing of daytime memory in dreams might aid later memory performance in a similar way. Num...

Today, I took a day off just for myself and did absolutely nothing. After an 8-hour Harry Potter marathon, I wondered about Andrey Zvyagintsev, one of my favorite directors (#Leviathan). Turns out, he was hospitalized for a while due to a COVID-induced coma. Wasn't expecting that news at all.

Delighted to share that I’ve been selected for the Eliteprogramm für Postdoktorandinnen und Postdoktoranden by Baden-Württemberg Stiftung. I pushed my limits—from writing a 20-30 page German document to having an interview in German. Grateful for this opportunity and network.
