Dreams take us to a different reality, hallucinatory world that feels as real any waking experience. These often-bizarre episodes are emblematic of human sleep but have yet be adequately explained. Retrospective dream reports subject distortion and forgetting, presenting fundamental challenge for neuroscientific studies dreaming. Here we show individuals who asleep in the midst lucid (aware fact they currently dreaming) can perceive questions from an experimenter provide answers using...
Metacognitive reflections on one's current state of mind are largely absent during dreaming. Lucid dreaming as the exception to this rule is a rare phenomenon; however, its occurrence can be facilitated through cognitive training. A central idea respective training strategies regularly question phenomenal experience: currently experienced world real , or just dream? Here, we tested if such lucid enhanced with dream-like virtual reality (VR): over course four weeks, volunteers underwent in VR...
Lucid dreaming—the phenomenon of experiencing waking levels self-reflection within one's dreams—is associated with more wake-like neural activation in prefrontal brain regions. In addition, alternating periods wakefulness and sleep might increase the likelihood a lucid dream. Here we investigate association between fragmentation dreaming, multi-centre study encompassing four different investigations into subjective objective measures fragmentation, nocturnal awakenings, quality polyphasic...
Abstract Lucid dreaming (LD) is a state of conscious awareness the current dream state, predominantly associated with REM sleep. Research progress in uncovering neurobiological basis LD has been hindered by low sample sizes, diverse EEG setups, and specific artifact issues like saccadic eye movements signal non-stationarity. To address these matters, we developed multi-stage preprocessing pipeline that integrates standardized early-stage preprocessing, subspace reconstruction, signal-space...
Magneto/electroencephalography (M/EEG) studies of dreaming are an essential paradigm in the investigation neurocognitive processes human consciousness during sleep, but they limited by number observations that can be collected per study. Dream research also involves substantial methodological and conceptual variability, which poses problems for integration results. To address these issues, here we present DREAM database—an expanding collection standardized datasets on sleep M/EEG combined...
Dreams take us to a different reality, hallucinatory world that feels as real any waking experience. These often-bizarre episodes are emblematic of human sleep but have yet be adequately explained. Retrospective dream reports subject distortion and forgetting, presenting fundamental challenge for neuroscientific studies dreaming. Here we show individuals in the midst can perceive questions from an experimenter provide answers using covert physiological signals. We implemented procedures...
Although hemispheric lateralization of creativity has been a longstanding topic debate, the underlying neurocognitive mechanism remains poorly understood. Here we designed 2 types novel stimuli-"novel useful and useless," adapted from "familiar useful" designs taken daily life-to demonstrate how left right medial temporal lobe (MTL) respond to different usefulness. Taking design as baseline, found that MTL showed increased activation in response "novel designs, followed by useless" ones,...
