Description of the research topic:
This line of research includes investigations focusing on the relationship between post-learning sleep and memory consolidation in case of relevant and irrelevant memories, as well as the role of sleep-specific oscillations in relation to the enhancement of previously acquired skills and retrieval of learned material. Additionally, we examine the possibility to increase sleep-specific cortical oscillations (slow waves and sleep spindles) by non-invasive stimulation procedures and plan to examine the effects of such stimulation on different cognitive and affective domains.
