Research Interests
During my PhD work I aim to investigate relationship between sleep and early neurocognitive development with a focus on learning. The first study, that I am currently conducting at P&G in Frankfurt (Germany) is a longitudinal study that focusses on habitual sleep (sleep over time). Infants are followed for half a year and their sleep is measured using actigraphs and sleep diaries. Their development is tracked using EEG, eye-tracking and developmental questionnaires. The results of this first study will guide the experimental design of my second study, that will take place in at the CBCD. During that study I aim to use NIRS-EEG to examine the effects that different types of learning have on subsequent sleep microstructure during a nap. Other research topics I'm interested in are music-evoked brain plasticity (especially how that might benefit early development) and fNIRS-BCIs.
