Awareness, consciousness and sleep

Researchers in this theme aim to reveal the intricate workings of our inner world. By studying the neural processes underlying attention and awareness, we unravel how our brain constructs our perception of reality.
In the realm of consciousness, investigations explore the enigma of self-awareness, the neural correlates of subjective experience and what happens to brains when people suffer from disorders of consciousness. The study of sleep investigates its essential role in maintaining brain and body health, consolidating memories, regulating emotions, and maintaining cognitive vitality. By merging psychology, neuroscience, and advanced, multimodal neuroimaging techniques, these inquiries shed light on fundamental aspects of human existence.
