Vos missions
This project aims to investigate dreams in relation to digital media use, resilience, and musical stimuli. The project will explore how pre-sleep and in-sleep experiences (e.g., exposure to digital media use or auditory stimuli) shape dream content, emotional processing, and sleep-dependent recovery. The PhD student will be mainly involved in night studies in healthy participants. The studies will involve systematic collection of dream reports through serial awakenings across the night, combined with experimental manipulations before and during sleep (e.g., pre-sleep media use or auditory stimulation during sleep). Sleep and physiological responses will be measured using physiological recordings (EEG, EOG, EMG, SCR; HR, breathing). The PhD student will be involved in all stages of the research project, including the planning and design of empirical studies, the recruitment of participants, collection of data, the analysis and publication of the data, and the training and supervision of Bachelor and Master students.
Profil souhaité
- A Master in Psychology
- Cognitive Sciences
- Cognitive Neurosciences or a related field with knowledge in empirical sleep and dream research
