Breakout session 2 (3:30 pm – 4:30 pm):

#4 How to best measure the behavioral expressions of memory systems in sleep replay research?

How to choose the best task (e.g., sensitivity, domain etc.) for a theoretical question?
How to compute performance to best operationalize consolidation.
How comparable are findings using different tasks.
Which tasks should not work.

#5 Beyond systems consolidation account.

Considering alternative theoretical account: Active systems vs. SHY vs. context binding
What experiments could falsify our hypotheses?
What is the role of wake in memory consolidation (e.g., waking rest, retrieval practice etc.).
How can we integrate null findings.

#6 About dream research’s ability to inform us about the memory function of sleep.

What is the relationship between dreams and memory replay?
How to quantify dreams and their potential role in memory consolidation.
Is lucid dreaming the same as ‘real / normal’ dreaming.
Can TMR be used to incept dreams?
