About Us

The Neuroscience and Psychology of Sleep Lab (NaPS) run by Professor Penny Lewis is one of many groups within the Cardiff University's Brain Imaging and Research Centre (CUBRIC), which opened in 2016.

​

We use techniques such as Targeted Memory Reactivation (TMR), functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), EEG, ECG, galvanic skin response (GSR) and cognitive tests to study and manipulate sleep.
