Check out our new paper! We evaluate what we know (and don't know) about the link between memory consolidation during sleep and next-day learning 👇

Sleep disturbances are associated with intrusive memories, but the neurocognitive
mechanisms underpinning this relationship are poorly understood. ...
Very happy to share our new preprint revealing no evidence for a targeted memory reactivation (TMR) effect on word-meaning priming (1/8): osf.io/preprints/ps...
