Trouble sleeping in a new place? Here's why, say scientists
Neuroscientists think we sleep badly in unfamiliar environments because half our brain is staying 'awake' to protect us.
My primary research interest is in understanding unconscious brain activity. My current research includes visual/motor skill learning during wakefulness and sleep. I use advanced non-invasive neuroimaging techniques including functional magnetic resonance
imaging (fMRI) and magnetoencephalography (MEG) to identify human brain activity both during wakefulness and sleep in high spatiotemporal resolution. In addition, I am interested in age related changes in brain activity during wakefulness and sleep.
