The Impact of Sleep on Network Coding and Perceptual Performance
PROJECT SUMMARY A critical issue for understanding sleep function is whether and how it impacts the accuracy of neuronal network computations to improve behavioral performance. Indeed, studies over the past several decades have shown that even brief periods of rest are correlated with subsequent improved perceptual and cognitive performance. However, despite the prevalence and beneficial impact of sleep on behavioral performance, little is known about the neural mechanisms of this improvement. We propose new studies to explore unchartered territory: we will explore the beneficial impact of sleep on information coding across cortical circuits and on perceptual performance. We propose to use…
