New preprint! Huge data collection feat from Morgan Barnes and analytic prowess from Thea Ng!
Perturbations of aperiodic activity following learning are reversed in nREM resetting the brain by morning. This reset predicts consolidation!

#sleeppeeps check out this new meta-analysis which provides great guidance on spindle-slow oscillation measurement which has been highly variable across papers! This work was done in my lab @umass by Thea Ng, an undergraduate @MountHolyoke ! tinyurl.com/SPSOcoup

It’s incredibly sad what @PhilipsResp has done to #Respironics and the legacy of the incredible company that Gerry McGinnis had built. It’s unfortunately ironic that Gerry passed away on the same day as this announcement.

I couldn’t be more proud of my @somneurolab alum and @rebeccabrossoit is a poster child for the value of the hands on undergrad research we offer. We are lucky to host 30 talented and fun undergrads in the lab each semester. We learn from each other!
