🚨 New preprint 🚨 "Immersive NREM dreaming preserves subjective sleep depth against declining sleep pressure." We analyzed 1,024 awakenings collected across 196 nights with high-density EEG (256 ch.) to explore the relationship between dreaming and subjective sleep depth. doi.org/10.1101/2025...

Immersive NREM dreaming preserves subjective sleep depth against declining sleep pressure

Perceived sleep depth is a key determinant of subjective sleep quality, traditionally thought to reflect unconsciousness and reduced cortical activation. Here, we combined high-density EEG with a seri...

🧠🧪 New paper in #NCONSC 🧠🧪 What if people who seem unconscious (e.g., Disorders of Consciousness, DoC) could still dream or experience mind wandering? We explore this possibility in a new review: academic.oup.com/nc/article/2... With Jasmine Walter and Jennifer Windt! #consciousness #dreaming

Abstract. Fluctuations in the presence, experiential quality and contents of consciousness occur naturally during sleep and wakefulness and are core featur

🔔New preprint out! We reviewed how RBD medications affect dream content. Take home message: the need for standardization and methodological rigor in future studies. “The effects of RBD Medications on Dream Content: A Critical Review of Evidence” is now available here: doi.org/10.31234/osf...

The likelihood to recall a dream in the morning and the ability to remember its content are modulated by a combination of stable individual traits and dynamic night-by-night and seasonal change, according to a study in Communications Psychology. go.nature.com/3EKJaCd 🧪

This is figure 3, which shows the predictors of dream recall and memory.
