Studies of lucid dreamers visualise which centers of the brain become active when we become aware of ourselves. Studies demonstrate that a specific cortical network consisting of the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, the frontopolar regions and the precuneus is activated when this lucid consciousness is attained.
Researchers discover more activity in the temporoparietal junction in people who are able to frequently recall their dreams.
RBD, a sleep disorder which causes people to act out their dreams, could predict the onset of neurodegenerative diseases.
Researchers track the electrical activity in the brains of people who alternately imagined scenes or watched real scenes on video.
According to new research, the brain area which enables self reflection is larger in those who have lucid dreams.
Researchers report rats simulate journeys to areas they have not been able to reach while at rest.
Researchers are investigating whether taking vitamin B can enhance dreaming and promote lucid dreaming.
Using optogenetics, researchers were able to send mice into REM sleep and trigger dream state.
Researchers explore how the ability to control dreams may be a key to helping us better understand consciousness.
According to a new study, the brain activity of those who dream during NREM sleep is closer to the activity of awake people, compared to those who do not dream.
A new study reveals how tactile experiences are encoded in the brain as we sleep.
Consuming violent media 90 minutes prior to bedtime makes you 13 times more likely to have a violent dream that night, a new study reports.
