Laboratory for Sleep, Cognition and Consciousness Research
CURRENT ANNOUNCEMENTS:
The laboratory for sleep and consciousness research is studying two puzzling sides of consciousness. On one hand sleep as a natural alteration of consciousness and on the other hand disorders of consciousness (DOC; i.e., VS, MCS, LIS) as pathological modifications of consciousness.
Main sleep research topics focus on brain plasticity and cognition during sleep, as well as neurofeedback in order to directly alter brain activity (in healthy as well as disordered sleep).
Our coma research is focusing on residual cognitive processing and consciousness in altered states of awareness.
