Although we all do it every day, sleep remains somewhat mysterious. The new study shows how the brain consolidates memories during sleep.
When we dream, something mysterious happens within our brains – we experience something similar to being awake, and yet also very different to being awake, and scientists are still trying to unpick exactly what's going on in that in-between state

A new discovery from Tel Aviv University may provide a key to a great scientific enigma: How does the sleeping brain interpret sensory input?
Peer-reviewed research finds correlation between alpha-beta waves and sound processing
