NEMO museum in Amsterdam is located in a fantastic futuristic building, which looks like a spacecraft departing into the future NEMO team also does a lot for science communication with their online journal Some time ago, I gave them a short comment on the current sleep-enhancement technology

Sleep and dreams as reflected by science fiction literature and films - anything to learn from? onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

🧠 The official website of the Neuroscience of Dreaming Summer School (4–8 May 2026, IMT School, Lucca, Italy) is now live: nodsummerschool.imtlucca.it 👉 Check out the confirmed speakers + our program overview. Detailed schedule and registration coming soon!

17,058 proposals received, 1,650 to be funded. Break-even, where more money is paid out than burned by the process, is ~2 months time investment per application (assuming only few admin/review/non-submitted efforts). Uncomfortably close to predatory territory: doi.org/10.1111/imcb...

Disturbed sleep is a leading symptom and likely causal factor for the development of psychiatric diseases such as mood disorders. Here we review how sleep is altered in depression, and discuss the role of sleep for therapeutic approaches: www.biologicalpsychiatryjournal.com/article/S000...

If you are at #WorldSleep25 and interested in Dreaming, come by my Poster 75 at 5.30 today! Also happy to chat about any other of my interests, such as infant sleep, gut microbiota, and so on, at the poster or over a tea! #sleeppeeps @dresler.bsky.social

🧠🧪 New paper in #NCONSC 🧠🧪 What if people who seem unconscious (e.g., Disorders of Consciousness, DoC) could still dream or experience mind wandering? We explore this possibility in a new review: academic.oup.com/nc/article/2... With Jasmine Walter and Jennifer Windt! #consciousness #dreaming

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! @sarahschoch.bsky.social @dresler.bsky.social @dondersinst.bsky.social

Our lab is starting a new study on dreaming 🚨GREAT NEWS!🚨: YOU may be eligible to participate! If interested, follow this link to a screening survey: furman.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_... #SleepPeeps #psychscisky #cogsci 🧠🟦

‪Excited to share that the 1. International Conf. on Music & Sleep (May 6–8, 2026) takes place in the stunning Chamber Music Hall at the Royal Academy of Music, Aarhus 🎶 A bright, elegant venue with views of ARoS. More info 👉 confmussleep.au.dk @lullabyte.bsky.social #ConfMusSleep #musicscience ‪‬

🚨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. #cogsci #psychscisky 🧠🟦

Interested in how emotions surface in dreams across the night? In this new paper, Jessica Palmieri, @valentinaelce.bsky.social and I report about the “Nightly dynamics of emotional content in dreams.” doi.org/10.1016/j.ne...

Dream start for database that aims to improve our understanding of conscious experience in sleep Free link to the paper in Nature Communication is rdcu.be/eAwni !

After you fall asleep in the sleep lab, we can decide what you dream about — as Karen Konkoly showed in her PhD work and just published in this new paper: “Investigating dreams by strategically presenting sounds during REM sleep to reactivate waking experiences” authors.elsevier.com/c/1lWFU6TBG5...

What would you like to dream about? Here's a suggestion. Our new paper, co-first-authored by PhD students Daniel Morris and Blaise Elliott, describes a way to provoke lucid dreams about revisiting a profound Virtual-Reality experience - academic.oup.com/nc/article/2...

Save the date!! 🗓️ The 2nd edition of the Summer School on the Neuroscience of Dreaming 💤 will take place 4–8 May 2026 in Lucca, Italy, at the IMT School for Advanced Studies Lucca. 📍 The official website will be released soon: stay tuned for updates!

The Fascinating Neuroscience of Lucid Dreaming www.brainfacts.org/thinking-sen...

We are excited to announce the 1st International Conference on Music and Sleep @musicinthebrain.bsky.social, Aarhus, DK, in collaboration with RAMA and @lullabyte.bsky.social. Dates: 6-8 May 2026. #musicscience Please mark your calendars and share the post. musicinthebrain.au.dk/internationa...

"Thank you" for reaching out.

Since Lullabyte began, we’ve been collaborating on a project blending Sleep, Music & Data Science. We're excited to share Somnosphere at the Long Night of Sciences in Berlin on June 28th, an immersive AV experience exploring how can we share the private nature of sleep. tinyurl.com/LNDWLullabyte

We need your help!!! 🧠🧪💤 If you are human, you fall asleep at least once a day! What happens in your mind then? Scientists know actually very little about this private moment. We propose a 20-min survey to get as much data as possible! Here is the link: redcap.link/DriftingMinds

We are hiring! 2 PhD position available on semi-naturalistic behavioral phenotyping and housing projects to increase translation. www.genzellab.com/we-are-hiring

Next, we have DreamRater github.com/SarahSchoch/..., a flexible tool for manual rating of dream content. You can upload your own scales (radio or numerical scales) and rate dreams whole or in parts. Here's a video explainer: tinyurl.com/DreamRater #sleeppeeps @dresler.bsky.social

Sleep disturbance as the strongest predictor of subsequent psychiatric disorders in young people (greater than family history and adverse childhood experiences). Sleep disturbance is modifiable, a key node for intervention. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

“Man, I feel completely focused and full of energy—it’s really disorienting”

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 preprint! 🎊 Elce et al., "The semantics of dreams": www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... We show that dream content is shaped by both wakefulness experiences and stable individual psychological/cognitive traits. 🌕

Come work with us! we are recruiting for a talented PhD candidate for a new project www.radboudumc.nl/en/vacancies...

I’m looking for a postdoc and RA for an ERC-funded project “SLEEPAWAY: Forgetting unwanted memories in sleep”. You’ll use MEG/EEG and fMRI to understand how the sleeping brain remembers and forgets. PLEASE REPOST 😊 Postdoc: tinyurl.com/vr5thp7s RA: tinyurl.com/ycyzkatc

We do have funding available for some postdoc years - combined with a Marie Curie scholarship, this could make a longer-term postdoc position. Either way, if you are interested in computational / large-scale sleep EEG and citizen neuroscience infrastructure for sleep/dream research: get in touch!

Ever used open-source (neuroscience MEG/EEG) software? Please take a moment to check out this report from within. This paper is very close to my heart, because we are moving towards a crisis … 🧵 bsky.app/profile/imag...

Excited to host the Neural Mechanisms Underlying Memory Processing symposium! Join us as we explore how sleep & plasticity shape memory. Red Room (01.201), Trigon, Nijmegen March 26 10:15 - 12:15 and online Speakers include @tjryan.bsky.social , @jseibt.bsky.social, Robbert Havekes more!

If you conduct studies involving music, audio or sleep you are invited to fill out this survey for the development of a standardised format for managing data in these fields! It takes around 15 minutes 🎶💤 #musicscience #sleepscience

Sign up to the second Woodstock of Biology before it's too late! (only 230 places, first come first served) #theconferencetoendallconferences woodstock.img.cas.cz

What distinguishes the brains of memory champions? Method of loci training yields unique neural representations that support effective memory encoding. - spearheaded by jingyuanren.bsky.social, borisnkonrad.bsky.social, isabellacwagner.bsky.social. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Do you want to study children in their natural environments instead of testing them in the lab? Thinking about how to do that best? Join us near Nijmegen on 22nd May! dpblab.org/2025/01/16/u...

Happy to have our letter published @TheLancet: We argue that there is actually quite substantial meta-analytical & long-term evidence in support of #sleep and its timing as being important determinants of the future risk of #dementia & #Alzheimer's disease (AD) www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...
