Biological organisms learn from interactions with their environment throughout their lifetime.
For artificial systems to successfully act and adapt in the real world, it is desirable to similarly …

Long-term memory formation is a major function of sleep. Based on evidence from
neurophysiological and behavioral studies mainly in humans and rodents, we consider the …

Replay is the reactivation of one or more neural patterns that are similar to the activation
patterns experienced during past waking experiences. Replay was first observed in …

Artificial neural networks are known to suffer from catastrophic forgetting: when learning
multiple tasks sequentially, they perform well on the most recent task at the expense of …

How do we build up our knowledge of the world over time? Many theories of memory
formation and consolidation have posited that the hippocampus stores new information, then …

Here, we characterized the dynamics of sleep spindles, focusing on their damping, which we
estimated using a metric called oscillatory-Quality (o-Quality), derived by fitting an …

Memory consolidation—the transformation of labile memory traces into stable long-term
representations—is facilitated by post-learning sleep. Computational and biophysical …

As the population of older adults grows, so will the prevalence of aging-related conditions,
including memory impairments and sleep disturbances, both of which are more common …

Recent studies have shown that the reactivation of specific memories during sleep can be
modulated using external stimulation. Specifically, it has been reported that matching a …

Objective. Sleep spindles have been implicated in memory consolidation and synaptic
plasticity during NREM sleep. Detection accuracy and latency in automatic spindle detection …
