Sleep Lab
The Brain and Mind Core Facility houses a fully-equipped, 4-bedroom sleep laboratory with in-lab 32 and 64 channel EEG systems and polysomnographic systems for recording and analyzing overnight/nap sleep studies. This sleep laboratory allows researchers to apply the latest and most advanced EEG and neuroimaging technology to some of the most important unresolved scientific questions, including “what is consciousness” and “why do we sleep?” It also enables a deeper look into the function of sleep for learning and memory, and to identify the neural substrates and activity that support sleep-dependent memory processing and synaptic plasticity.
If you are interested in accessing the resources in this area of the facility, please contact Aaron Gibbings (EEG, fNIRS, Sleep Lab Coordinator).
