Speaker:
Dr Aristea Ladas
Assistant Professor, Psychology Department
CITY College, University of York Europe Campus

Overview:
Why do we sleep?
Why do we dream?
What are dreams?
Can they be controlled?

Questions that all of us have certainly asked ourselves during our lifetime. Questions that different science fields have tried to address. Questions that still remain largely unanswered.

Join neuroscientist Aristea Ladas for fascinating insights into the mystery of sleep and dreaming. Learn about brain activity during sleeping and dreaming, discover how this activity influences our life while awake, and have your say as we try to pin-point the differences between dreaming and awake states. Explore the phenomenon of dreaming from a psychoanalytic and from a cognitive-neuroscientific perspective, and find out how dreaming connects to consciousness.
