Description of the research topic:

Alacsony szintű procedurális tanulással, perceptuális és motoros készségekkel foglalkozunk, melyekkel kapcsolatban korábban már bebizonyosodott, hogy alvásfüggőek. Alvásüggő agyi fejlődési és tanulási mechanizmusokat vizsgálunk Williams szindrómás és Down szindrómás populációkban.
Sleep and Learning
The work concentrates on low level procedural (perceptual and motor skill) learning that has previously been shown to depend on consolidation during sleep. We will address the issue of sleep-related brain maturation and learning effects in people with developmental brain disorders, such as Williams Syndrome, and Down Syndrome.
