Fractal cycles of sleep, a new aperiodic activity-based definition of sleep cycles Open
Sleep cycles are defined as episodes of non-rapid eye movement (non-REM) sleep followed by an episode of REM sleep. Fractal or aperiodic neural activity is a well-established marker of arousal and sleep stages measured using electroencepha…

Fractal cycles of sleep: a new aperiodic activity-based definition of sleep cycles Open
Nocturnal human sleep consists of 4 – 6 ninety-minute cycles defined as episodes of non-rapid eye movement (non-REM) sleep followed by an episode of REM sleep. While sleep cycles are considered fundamental components of sleep, their functi…

Highly effective verified lucid dream induction using combined cognitive-sensory training and wearable EEG: a multi-centre study Open
The state of becoming aware that one is dreaming within an ongoing dream, referred to as lucid dreaming (LD), can occur spontaneously. Yet, since the occurrence of spontaneous LD is relatively rare, various methods have been proposed to in…

The neuroscience of lucid dreaming Open
Lucid dreaming allows conscious awareness and control of vivid dream states, however its rarity and instability make neuroscientific experimentation challenging. Recent advances in wearable neurotechnology, large-scale collaborations, citi…

Memory reports are biased by all relevant contents of working memory Open
Sensory input is inherently noisy while the world is inherently predictable. When multiple observations of the same object are available, integration of the available information necessarily increases the reliability of a world estimate. O…

Serial dependence in visual perception: A review Open
How does the visual system represent continuity in the constantly changing visual input? A recent proposal is that vision is serially dependent: Stimuli seen a moment ago influence what we perceive in the present. In line with this, recent…

What can memory interference tell us about serial dependence and what can serial dependence tell us about memory interference? Open
Previous stimuli influence present perceptual decisions even when these stimuli are currently task-irrelevant, causing serial dependence effects. Similarly, task-relevant information concurrently held in working memory also influences perc…

Active Vision in Sight Recovery Individuals with a History of Long-Lasting Congenital Blindness Open
What we see is intimately linked to how we actively and systematically explore the world through eye movements. However, it is unknown to what degree visual experience during early development is necessary for such systematic visual explor…
