🚨STARTER PACK OWNERS!🚨
I did a little digging and figured out how to turn your #StarterPack into a List & Feed using a couple 3rd-party apps. I suspect this is the next evolution of #BlueSky, so here is a quick how-to and why I think it’s a good idea, plus a super secret pro-tip 🤫 near the end! 🧵

Fresh results now in bioRxiv! 🎉 We know about the function of NREM sleep for overnight memory consolidation. But what about REM sleep? We found that in aging, slow delta waves can intrude phasic REM periods, and this, is associated with worse overnight consolidation 🧠 (1/5) doi.org/10.1101/2025...

🚨New Paper🚨
I spend a lot of time trying to control what people dream about.
Usually, we are looking at dreams of recent memory.
In this new paper, for the first time, we caused people to dream about a specific REMOTE memory from their distant past.

Applying for graduate studies in psychology and neuroscience can be challenging and confusing. Frequently, applicants have some support from mentors at their home institutions, but sometimes applicants are looking for additional reassurance, feedback, or perspectives on the processes.

One thing I learned as a father is just how ridiculous low the bar is set for us culturally. Literally just holding our child gets profuse praise while our female partners would get judged for not doing enough while doing the same thing.

#SleepPeeps... If my students and I did a study on #dreaming, and tried to recruit participants on Bluesky, would you do it?
Would involve 30min Zoom meeting and recording your dreams + answering lengthy surveys across a week or so. Small $$ compensation.
