Research Interests
For some time, I have been interested in multidisciplinary research aimed to determine by what mechanism sleep exerts its influence on cognitive processes (e.g. discrimination, attention, memory) and functioning, as well as trying to understand the role sleep plays in memory and learning. Currently, I am integrating EEG, biological rhythms and behavioral performance analyses in order to determine the impact of inter-individual differences in sleep length on recognition memory. My long-term objective is to study how extraneous factors (e.g., developmental, psychopathology and circadian rhythms) influence sleep and memory.
