Prof. Peter Dániel Simor is one of the residents holding the IMÉRA-ILCB chair this semester. Peter is a psychologist with a particular interest in the neuroscience of sleep, dreaming and mind-wandering. He is and Associate Professor at Eötvös Loránd University (Budapest) and head of the Budapest Laboratory of Sleep and Cognition where he investigated a diverse range of topics related to sleep and dreaming, such as the neurophysiology of paradoxical (REM) sleep, the interplay between of sleep, chronotype and mental health, the role of sleep in learning and memory, or the neurocognitive aspects of nightmares and lucid dreaming. During the fellowship he will study the potential role of mind-wandering in information processing, more specifically, in probabilistic learning. In addition, in collaboration with other researchers they will provide a theoretical framework on the intimate links between covert sleep states and mind-wandering in healthy and pathological conditions.
