SNEPP aims to 1) promote a formally organized translational and interdisciplinary exchange between basic and applied psychological subdisciplines to foster (transdiagnostic) EPP research, 2) increase the quality and quantity of research output from German labs at […]

Time-of-day related fluctuations of self-belief formation

Time of day influences a variety of human cognitive processes, including attention, executive functions and memory formation, as well as affective experiences and mood. However, circadian modulations of self-related learning and belief formation, which are highly affected by emotional states, remain poorly understood. Here, we present results from exploratory post-hoc analyses on data aggregated from

Reactivating a relaxation exercise during sleep to influence cortical hyperarousal in people with frequent nightmares: A randomized crossover trial

Study Objectives High-frequency EEG activity during sleep (cortical hyperarousal), is a transdiagnostic feature across psychiatric disorders, including nightmare disorder. It is discussed as a target of intervention; however, specific treatment options are yet unavailable. We tested whether exposure to relaxation-associated odor cues during sleep would reduce cortical hyperarousal, i.e. beta (16.25 – 31 Hz), gamma
