Current research project:

I am looking at the potential benefits of sleep for memory consolidation. Specifically, I am training participants in novel verbal and spatial tasks, and then testing them following an evening of sleep, comparing them to participants awake during the day. This is a translational research project, based on animal research in rodents, which found recapitulation of hippocampal neural ensembles in sleep after learning a spatial task.
