Scientists scan brains to see how sleep locks in skills learned in your mind
NCT ID NCT03130322
Summary
This study aimed to understand how the brain uses sleep to strengthen skills learned through mental practice, like imagining a movement. Researchers measured brain activity in 51 healthy volunteers while they slept, after they practiced finger movement tasks only in their minds. The goal is to use this knowledge to design better mental practice programs to help patients with movement disorders recover their motor skills.
