Study while you sleep: using targeted memory reactivation as an independent research project for undergraduates

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Why study when you could just sleep? We demonstrate how students can perform scalable research investigations to manipulate memory processing during sleep. It is a hands-on way to advance students' understanding of sleep-based memory consolidation and the corresponding neural mechanisms using open-source software and do-it-yourself EEG tools.
