What’s the most amazing conversation you’ve ever had? For me, one was a dialogue with a person who is asleep and dreaming. As a cognitive neuroscientist in Ken Paller’s sleep lab Northwestern, exploring the human mind is my job. #takeoverNSF #BrainAwarenessWeek

Interested in #sleep and #dreams? Consider this upcoming TEDxMarin Salon on the science of sleep and dreams featuring five original Talks PLUS a Q&A with audience-generated questions. More info at: eventbrite.com/e/the-brain-sc…
