IT IS TOMORROW! 😴💭

Join us for an exciting morning! If you can't make it in person, tune in at sleep.donders.institute

See you all there!

Slow waves during sleep are fundamental for neural homeostasis and are impaired in neurodegenerative diseases. But what about sleep-like slow waves during wakefulness? Are these slow waves altered in Parkinson's disease? Are these slow waves uncovering psychosis?

From sleep 💤 to dreams 🌙 to daydreams ☁️ - what is the brain up to?

I’m excited to host a mini-symposium before my PhD defense! Join us in person or online, details in the flyer!

I made some tools for our (MANY!) dream reports. I am making them openly available for others to use! First DreamProcessor github.com/SarahSchoch/..., a simple tool to preprocess dream reports (clean, anonymize, split) that integrates semiautomatic approaches. #sleeppeeps @dresler.bsky.social

🧠💭 Why do some people remember their dreams more than others?

In our new preprint, we used multimodal neuroimaging (qMRI, DTI, rs-fMRI) and data-driven analysis (LICA) in 258 participants (!!!), revealing unique structural and functional brain signatures linked to dream recall frequency.

🚨 New Paper Alert! 🚨

Excited to share our latest review on Sleep Neuroimaging, now published! Huge thanks to my amazing co-authors for this collaboration - I learned so much along the way! #sleeppeeps

New preprint from our lab, in collaboration with Jeff Duyn's group at NIH!! 🚨Bergamo et al., "Thalamic involvement defines distinct slow-wave subtypes in NREM sleep." Link: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

You've heard about the stages of sleep, but what about the stages of WAKE?

New preprint from our lab just posted on PsyArXiv. This follows other recent studies from our lab using a data-driven method to parse long periods of wake into discrete "online" and "offline" states.

#PsychSciSky

Have we made the Hypnobioscope a reality yet? Come by my poster #031 at @worldsleep2023 today 18:00 to learn about the history of research on learning during sleep.

My first post here 🦋

Delighted to have had the opportunity to talk about some of my PhD work in my home country for the first time! I showed some of our very recent results on diffusion MRI in relation to dream traits as one way to study dreams offline. #WorldSleep23 🧠🤓

We are at #WorldSleep23

Here a brief (and continuously completed) thread with our contributions - if you are interested in any of the topics and happen to be in Rio in person, please approach us, otherwise reach out remotely!

#Neuroskyence #PsychSciSky

Tomorrow, @marianapereira.bsky.social will present fresh-from-the-oven results from her multimodal imaging approach to understanding dream traits at the Neuroscience of Dreaming symposium.

Join us in Room 24 at 9:00 AM on Tuesday!

#WorldSleep23!  #Neuroskyence #PsychSciSky

Interested in dreaming or memory consolidation? Come by my poster at @WorldSleep2023 #033 today at 18.00 to learn about our Registered Report and what I am doing during my >50 sleepless nights. #sleeppeeps #dreams #openscience
