My research program works to define “good” sleep and how we can leverage it to support healthy cognition and combat cognitive disease and decline. The major themes of my work are centered around investigations of both central (e.g., electroencephalographic) and autonomic (e.g., electrocardiographic) indicators of sleep and their contributions to cognition. I also explore the consequences of sleep perturbations, whether pharmacological or environmental, for cognitive processing.
