ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is exploring how our brains work while we sleep, especially focusing on sleepwalkers. Researchers want to understand the mental processes that happen during sleep, which are often hard to measure. By using sounds to stimulate the brain while participants are in a deep sleep state, they hope to gain insights into memory and how our minds react even when we're not fully awake.

To participate in this study, you need to be between 18 and 35 years old, be a sleepwalker, and provide written consent. The study is currently recruiting participants, and anyone with certain psychiatric or neurological disorders or other sleep issues besides sleepwalking will not be eligible. If you join, you can expect to engage in unique activities that help scientists learn more about sleep and memory. This research could lead to a better understanding of sleep’s role in our overall cognitive health.
