Question: I would like to know what your research has shown about improving memory or improving processing of information,
particularly as we age?
Question: Dr. Stickgold, there's been lots of conflicting reports in the popular press recently about the optimal amount of time
needed for sleeping - I was wondering if you had any perspectives on the amount of time required?
Question: One of the big issues in aging, that I begin to understand from friends, is issues of sleeplessness or interrupted
sleep. I'm curious if any of these studies have been applied to aged populations and are there different cycles across the night or of
memory or dreaming?
Question: Again, on this matter of how long do you sleep, you do your testing on young people who can sleep for seven or eight
hours. In this room there are a lot of people who have to get up after every two or three hours of sleep because of bladder problems.
What happens to their brain under those circumstances?
Question: You've talked about trauma that affects the hippocampal part of the brain. I would like to know if psychological abuse
affects the brain permanently, like abuse of cocaine and the blunt of a trauma? Does psychological abuse stay with you forever?
