Sleep Traits and Age: does our ‘Brain Fingerprint’ Remain?
From studies conducted with young adults and teenagers, we know that brain activity during sleep varies from person to person, but is very repeatable from night to night within one person. We want to know whether this “brain fingerprint” is also visible later in life.

Over the past two years we have collected a dataset containing 5 nights of sleep recordings from adults between 60 and 75 years. Your task will be to conduct a review of the existing literature on the features of sleep-related brain activity that are stable over time, so called sleep traits. Then you will implement these features and see if can reproduce findings in teenagers and young adults in our sample of elderly participants.
