Research Summary

Memory serves as one of the foundational aspects of human cognition, and sleep, which constitutes one-third of our lives, plays a crucial role in memory processing. My work explores the mechanisms of memory processing during sleep using EEG, iEEG, and fMRI. Specifically, my phd project would focus on how the sleep featured oscillations(i.e. slow waves, spindles and ripples) and memory reactivation during sleep influences our my memory transformation and our behavior.
