Prof. Hu discusses his groundbreaking study demonstrating the ability to update unwanted emotional memories during sleep. We explore the potential for applying this research to clinical populations and consider how individual schemas might influence the effectiveness of TMR across different people.

We also dive into the nitty gritty of memory consolidation in sleep - examining how REM and NREM stages contribute to emotional memory consolidation, and how recency vs. saliency affects which memories get updated.

We explore how manipulations of sleep might help reshape our implicit attitudes. Xiaoqing shares his journey of applying Implicit Association Tasks (IATs) to sleep research, and how conflict biases, congruent vs. incongruent data, and task design play a role in measuring and modifying bias.

Can sleep help us unlearn biases and make our memories more positive?
Implicit biases are unconscious stereotypes that influence our judgments and decisions - like assuming a particular gender for a specific job role. But what if we could change these biases?

Our newest episode is out tomorrow!
Stay tuned to hear about Xiaoqing's work on using TMR to alter negative bias and updating our upsetting memories to make them more positive

"We show that gradual microstructural changes, distributed across several cortical areas, are associated with the emergence of behavioural benefits stemming from memory reactivation."
