The Effect of Closed‐Loop Auditory Stimulation on Memory Consolidation and Sleep Physiology in an Ecological Setting

open access: yesJournal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Slow wave sleep plays a crucial role in overnight memory consolidation, with slow oscillations serving as a critical mechanism. Recent studies have identified closed‐loop auditory stimulation as an effective method to enhance slow oscillatory activity during slow wave sleep, thereby facilitating memory consolidation.

Differential Nap‐To‐Nap Stability of Sleep Spindles, Slow Waves, and their Temporal Coupling: An Exploratory Study

open access: yesJournal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Slow waves and sleep spindles characterise non‐rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep and support cognitive and plasticity‐related functions. While their stability across nights is well established, less is known about their consistency across daytime naps.

Eye Movements, Item Modality, and Multimodal Second Language Vocabulary Learning: Processing and Outcomes

open access: yesLanguage Learning, EarlyView.
Abstract This study examined second language vocabulary processing and learning in reading only (RO) versus reading while listening (RWL). 119 English learners read or read‐while‐listening to a story embedded with 25 pseudowords, 10 times each, and had their eye movements tracked.

Morphological and biomechanical adaptations of larval mandibles in Trichoptera (Insecta)

open access: yesPhysiological Entomology, EarlyView.
Mandible morphology differs between predators and grazers: predators show pointed incisors, grazers sharp edges and setae. Mechanical properties depend on cuticle tanning, not elemental reinforcement. Functional mandible types reflect feeding strategies, with predators specialized for prey capture and grazers for scraping and collecting.
