Memory and sleep: how sleep cognition can change the waking mind for the better
The memories that we retain can serve many functions. They guide our future actions, form a
scaffold for constructing the self, and continue to shape both the self and the way we …

Perceptual reality monitoring: Neural mechanisms dissociating imagination from reality
There is increasing evidence that imagination relies on similar neural mechanisms as
externally triggered perception. This overlap presents a challenge for perceptual reality …
