Dear all,
I have the pleasure to announce a special SleepWell Seminar on Wednesday (25.9.19) at 6-8 pm in seminar room 3 (Biomedicum 1, Haartmaninkatu 8, 00290 Helsinki)!
The speakers:
Christina Schmidt from the University of Liége, Belgium: ”Age-related changes in sleep-wake regulation”
Her research explores the involvement of sleep-wake regulation on human cognition. She uses multidimensional approaches combining cognitive methods, neuroimaging, electrophysiology and chronobiological paradigms, mainly in healthy individuals.
Peter Meerlo from the University of Groningen, Netherlands: ”Sleep, brain plasticity and memory”
His research focuses on the phylogeny and ecology of sleep. He is especially interested in the role of sleep in neuronal plasticity & memory formation, the consequences of restricted/disrupted sleep and the effects of stress on biological clocks and circadian rhythmicity.
There is no registration required, there will be space for everyone who’s interested!
Looking forward to seeing you there soon!
Best,
Sarah Steffens
