We explore the application of a wide range of sensory stimulation technologies to the area of
sleep and dream engineering. We begin by emphasizing the causal role of the body in …

Newly encoded memory traces are spontaneously reactivated during sleep. Since their
discovery in the 1990s, these memory reactivations have been discussed as a potential …

Dreaming can occur in both rapid eye movement (REM) and non-REM (NREM) sleep. We
recently showed that in both REM and NREM sleep, dreaming is associated with local …

In rat models of absence epilepsy, epileptic spike-wave discharges appeared in EEG
spontaneously, and the incidence of epileptic activity increases with age. Spike-wave …

Adverse childhood experiences can deleteriously affect future physical and mental health,
increasing risk for many illnesses, including psychiatric problems, sleep disorders, and …

The widely used guidelines for sleep staging were developed for the visual inspection of
electrophysiological recordings by the human eye. As such, these rules reflect a limited …

Sleep facilitates memory consolidation through offline reactivations of memory traces.
Dreaming may play a role in memory improvement and may reflect these memory …

The stream of human consciousness persists during sleep, albeit in altered form.
Disconnected from external input, the mind and brain remain active, at times creating the …

Abstract Study Objectives To replicate and expand upon past research by evaluating sleep
and wake electroencephalographic spectral activity in samples of frequent nightmare (NM) …

Idiopathic nightmares are a common disturbance of rapid eye movement sleep (REM) sleep,
but studies of comorbid pathologies and sleep architecture suggest that non-REM (NREM) …
