Research:

I use electrophysiological methods (M/EEG) to understand how our brain processes information during sleep. In wakefulness, the brain’s ability to extract statistical regularities of sensory input (e.g., what is expected and what not) has been well documented. Little is known, however, about the extent to which top-down modulations of incoming information, such as expectations, are preserved during sleep.
