@hakwanlau EEG correlates of the feeling of having dreamed with or without recall of dream content are similar, but both are different from the feeling of not having dreamed at all: https://t.co/0tMjcNeOB4

@jdkdjdjjsjdjs What if, instead of weighing, we mapped the neural correlates of dreaming? The computation... continues.

@mari_ecpereira Finished reading the paper. It's beautiful. It's great when a study finds out the involvement of unexpected players like the cerebellum. Paves the way for a change in goals for researchers in the neural correlates of dreaming.

The first version of our study showing causal evidence for the neural correlates of dreaming is out! Using our patented closed-loop auditory stimulation procedure to boost slow oscillations resulted in less #dreams. Preprint available on #bioRxiv https://t.co/DDLbgM7Y61

@mari_ecpereira Absolutely, Mariana. We can't generalize to dreams based on these papers, but we can't rule out this is a dream mechanism. Maybe DMN changes also are related to dreams in NREM. We surely need more studies with big samples to understand the neural correlates of dreaming.
