Dr. Erin Wamsley joined the Department of Psychology and Program in Neuroscience at Furman University in 2013. In the Sleep and Cognition Laboratory, Dr. Wamsley studies how the brain processes memories during sleep, as well as the relationship of sleep-dependent memory processing to dream experiences. Her current work explores how spatial memories are transformed during sleep, how emotion modulates sleep-dependent memory processing, and how recent experiences are expressed in dreams.
