The Evolution of Memories Across Wake and Sleep
研究概览
详细说明
Goal 1: How do memories evolve across wake and sleep? The investigators are interested in how specific memories are selected for change across periods of wake and sleep, and in characterizing the manner in which those memories change. There has been research into broad areas of memory, such as procedural and declarative memory, but other forms of memory, such as semantic memory, remain unexplored, as well as different subtypes of memory within these broad areas. Additionally, it is presently unknown how memories are selected for subsequent processing during sleep and wake. The investigators aim to characterize which memories change, how they are selected, and how they change differently over periods that include sleep versus periods during which participants remain awake.
Goal 2: How are these changes reflected behaviorally and in the EEG signal? The investigators will employ and develop specific behavioral and electrophysiological tasks and measures that allow one to probe the state of a particular type of memory and determine how it changes over periods of wake and sleep. EEG signals may be informative about the status of a memory during behavioral performance as well as during both waking and sleeping offline states.
Goal 3: What stages and features of sleep affect memory evolution? In the cases in which sleep in particular is found or suspected to influence memories in a unique way, the investigators will assess which stages and features of sleep are involved in that evolution. Generally, this will be accomplished by correlating measures such as time spent in a sleep stage, prominence of particular brain oscillations, or density of spindles with changes in behavior or in other EEG metrics

主要结果指标

措施说明 |
大体时间 |
|---|---|---|
|
Motor sequence task improvement
大体时间:4-24 hrs
|
The increase in the number of correct sequences typed, from the last three training trials to the first three delayed-test trials, is calculated as a percent improvement.
|
4-24 hrs
|
|
Psychomotor vigilance task lapse rate
大体时间:4-24 hrs
|
The absolute number of trials in a 5-min test period on which the participant fails to responds with 500ms is calculated as the lapse rate.
|
4-24 hrs
|
|
Serial reaction time test improvement
大体时间:4-24 hrs
|
At two time points, separated by a period of wake or sleep, the average reaction time to stimuli in repeated sequence blocks is subtracted from the average reaction time in random blocks.
The percent increase in this difference, from the final blocks in the first test to the first blocks in the second test, is calculated as a percent improvement.
|
4-24 hrs
|
|
Visual discrimination task improvement
大体时间:4-24 hrs
|
At two time points, separated by a period of wake or sleep, the interpolated stimulus-mask ISI corresponding to 80% accuracy on the texture discrimination task is determined, and task improvement is calculated as the difference between these thresholds, in ms.
