Sleep Research Laboratory

Our goal
Our goal is to decode the physiological signals of the brain that support cognition and behaviour across different states of consciousness.
Research interests
Despite continued research to characterize the features of sleep and its underlying physiological processes, the functions of sleep have remained largely enigmatic. The focus of our research is to investigate one of the dominant hypotheses in the field: that one of the primary functions of sleep is for memory consolidation; the process of forming enduring memory traces.
We employ a unique combination of behavioural, cognitive, electrophysiological, functional and structural neuroimaging and combined EEG-fMRI techniques to explore the functions - and dysfunctions - of sleep.
