You taught a computer how to identify memory formation in a sleeping person!
Sleep spindles are bursts of brain activity that happen while we’re sleeping, and they are important for memory formation. BRAIN Initiative scientists taught computers to identify sleep spindles in recordings from electrodes, on people sleeping, which will help us learn more about the importance of sleep in memory formation.
