Also, credit where credit is due: Figure 2 is based on code by the amazing @tomhardwicke.bsky.social and this paper doi.org/10.1098/rsos...! Thanks for sharing your code openly, Tom!

Yes, certainly! For the replication part, the hypotheses mainly concern behavioral findings and only one hypothesis is about the sleep EEG. We will upload the hypotheses soon. You can also team up with another person with EEG experience if you like. Let me know if you have any more questions :)

Thank you Juli! 🙏

Congratulations! 🎉🥳

Lastly, I’m really grateful for my colleagues of the SceneGrammarLab who made this study happen and allowed me to include photographs of myself in a figure. Look mom, I’m a model in a scientific paper! 💁‍♀️ 4/4

We also compared the procedure between both VR and 3D desktop screen settings and found only slight differences. This indicates that the screen setup could elicit comparable behavior as in VR. More research is needed to dive into the nuances and underlying processes 3/4

In line with our expectations, limited visual input did not impact or even benefited incidental memory of encountered objects. Moreover, spatial memory of scenes only seen with a flashlight was overall just as good as memory of illuminated scenes! 2/4
