Dream content and slow waves benefit preys against predators in a video game confrontation Open
Every studied animal species exhibits some form of sleep, a state evolved under the sustained influence of prey and predator behaviors. Dreams have been proposed to have evolved as offline mental simulations able to warn against impending …

SSVEP modulation via non-volitional neurofeedback: an in silico proof of concept Open
Objective. Neuronal oscillatory patterns are believed to underpin multiple cognitive mechanisms. Accordingly, compromised oscillatory dynamics were shown to be associated with neuropsychiatric conditions. Therefore, the possibility of modu…

Physical Fitness, Executive Functions, and Academic Performance in Children and Youth: A Cross-Sectional Study Open
The aim of this cross-sectional study was to investigate the relationship between physical fitness, executive function, and academic performance in children and adolescents. A total of 131 students (49% female) aged 10–15 years from a publ…

Visual coding along multiple brain areas Open
This study focuses on understanding visual coding in multiple brain areas and its implications for neural processing in the visual system. It highlights the use of simultaneous recordings of large neuronal populations to investigate how vi…

It is time for more holistic practices in mental health Open
Hegemonic psychiatric models in the 20 th century, centered on the notion of disease, were willing to consider a single 'natural' primary cause-either biochemical or neurophysiological-as sufficient explanation for complex psychological an…

5-MeO-DMT induces sleep-like LFP spectral signatures in the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex of awake rats Open
5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine (5-MeO-DMT) is a potent classical psychedelic known to induce changes in locomotion, behaviour, and sleep in rodents. However, there is limited knowledge regarding its acute neurophysiological effects. Loca…

Electrophysiological correlates of lucid dreaming: sensor and source level signatures Open
Lucid dreaming (LD) is a state of conscious awareness of the current dream state, predominantly associated with REM sleep. Research progress in uncovering the neurobiological basis of LD has been hindered by low sample sizes, diverse EEG s…

Grammatical impairment in schizophrenia: An exploratory study of the pronominal and sentential domains Open
Schizophrenia (SZ) is a severe mental disorder associated with a variety of linguistic deficits, and recently it has been suggested that these deficits are caused by an underlying impairment in the ability to build complex syntactic struct…

The DEA report on ayahuasca risks: “Science” in service of prohibition? Open
On February 2023, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) released a document to the legal team representing the Church of the Eagle and the Condor (“CEC”). This disclosure came two years after the church, in conjunction with Chacruna In…

Speech graph analysis in obsessive-compulsive disorder: The relevance of dream reports Open
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a distressing disorder characterized by the presence of intrusive thoughts, images or urges (obsessions) and/or behavioral efforts to reduce the anxiety (compulsions). OCD lifetime prevalence varies b…

Experience-dependent phosphoproteomic changes in hippocampus and neocortex correlate with the abundance of spindle oscillations during the transition between SWS and REM sleep Open
The role of sleep on memory consolidation is thought to involve experience-dependent changes in spindle oscillations and protein phosphorylation, but how these phenomena are related remains poorly understood. To gain insight into this rela…

Imagetic and affective measures of memory reverberation diverge at sleep onset in association with theta rhythm Open
The 'day residue' - the presence of waking memories into dreams - is a century-old concept that remains controversial in neuroscience. Even at the psychological level, it remains unclear how waking imagery cedes into dreams. Are visual and…

LSD, Madness and Healing: Mystical Experiences as Possible Link Between Psychosis Model and Therapy Model Open
For a century, two paradoxical models have dominated the research with classic psychedelics [1] :This study sought to elucidate this paradoxical relationship by exploring the LSD psychosis model and therapy model, as measured by aberrant s…

Lucid dreaming increased during the COVID-19 pandemic: An online survey Open
The COVID-19 pandemic changed people’s lives all over the world. While anxiety and stress decreased sleep quality for most people, an increase in total sleep time was also observed in certain cohorts. Dream recall frequency also increased,…
