Slow waves during sleep are fundamental for neural homeostasis and are impaired in neurodegenerative diseases. But what about sleep-like slow waves during wakefulness? Are these slow waves altered in Parkinson's disease? Are these slow waves uncovering psychosis?

Excited to present our new work reading minds! Ok, not *that* kind of mind reading, but we have created a deep learning method capable of using single neuron recordings from people watching episodes of TV that can predict when they recall specific memories from the episode. 1/6

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...

#EEGManyLabs website is now live: eegmanylabs.org A home for our global effort to test the replicability of influential EEG findings, share resources, improve methods in cognitive neuroscience, and grow an open, connected community.

Happy and proud to finally see this out! I am excited about our new approach to collect episodic memories independent of verbal report. Please reach out if interested! It was an absolute pleasure working with Omer, Daniel Yuval and all the rest

Interesting study showing that stress shortens REM sleep through an action of the PFC 🧠💤 www.cell.com/current-biol...

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...

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...

🚨 New preprint alert! Excited to share our latest work on alpha/beta activity, eye movements, and memory. Across 4 experiments combining scalp EEG/iEEG with eye tracking, we show that alpha/beta activity directly reflects eye movements, and only indirectly relates to memory. 👇 Highlights (1/7):

Just dropped in @natcomms.nature.com: we show that re-engaging a thalamic–ventral tegmental circuit with deep brain stimulation can reignite consciousness in patients with severe brain injury. Work led by Aaron Warren, with @andreashorn.org @foxmdphd.bsky.social @ others! tinyurl.com/4kz8j89b

Cortical activity upon awakening from sleep reveals consistent spatio-temporal gradients across sleep stages in human EEG doi.org/10.1016/j.cu...

Thursday: moved to a new apartment. Also Thursday: gave my first 20-min research talk at the TAU Alzheimer’s Conference, showing new (unpublished!) results. Chaos? Yes. Worth it? Absolutely.

Excited to share our latest work spearheaded by @anikaloewe.bsky.social & @maritpetzka.bsky.social. 20 min naps increased the chance to solve an insight task if sleep reached N2 stage; but the EEG spectral slope was the best predictor of insight dx.plos.org/10.1371/jour... #compneuro #psychscisky

🧠🔬 This important study demonstrates that slow fluctuations in serotonin release during wakefulness and non-REM sleep correspond to periods of heightened arousal or enhanced offline information processing, especially in the hippocampus. Congrats to the authors! elifesciences.org/reviewed-pre...

🧠 Paper out! We investigated how hippocampal and cortical ripples support memory during movie watching. We found that: 🎬 Hippocampal ripples mark event boundaries 🧩 Cortical ripples predict later recall Ripples may help transform real-life experiences into lasting memories! rdcu.be/eui9l

Last year, Sophia Snipes made a fascinating discovery: a new rhythm in the zoo of EEG oscillations, and one specific of REM #sleep! 🧠🧪💤 Such a claim would need a thorough verification, which is now out: journals.physiology.org/doi/full/10.... Watch this space as Sophia will be pursuing this work!
