Team presentation

The team aims to discover why we sleep and dream and understand the mechanisms of neurological sleep disorders to treat them better. Both clinical and basic research axes investigate hybrid states between wake and sleep, using neurophysiological recordings and brain imaging combined with behavioural tasks and reports of mental experiences.​
