Sleep and nightmares in deaf individuals
We found deaf individuals have poor sleep and nightmares. We are now assessing objective sleep and mental health in this population.
Neural correlates of advanced lucid dreaming
This project aims to examine the neural correlates of high-level dream control and social cognition in expert lucid dreamers.
Inducing lucid dreams with wearables
We are conducting a study with collaborators at Donders Institute and IMT Lucca using a wearable EEG headband to deliver sensory stimulation to induce lucid dreams.
What dreams may come
This collaboration with Dr. Antonio Zadra and Dr. Santiago Hidalgo studies the impact of cinematic stimuli on dream content and subsequent emotional reactivity.
Open-access tools for dream analysis
This project is dedicated to developing a public database of dream reports and companion software for its analysis. The Python package, Froid, is under active development.
