We apply different, particularly neuroscientific methods of sleep and plasticity research. These include:
- high-resolution EEG techniques in the sleep laboratory and as a portable set for mobile use in familiar surroundings at home (with up to 128 electrodes, for long-term monitoring; Electrical Geodesics Inc.)
- multimodal magnetic resonance imaging (volumetry, DTI, spectroscopy, etc.)
- Stimulation paradigm: transcranial magnetic stimulation for non-invasive stimulation of cortical areas in humans
- Electrophysiology in animal models
- Immunohistochemical methods
- Genetic methods
- Different behavioral paradigms
