Students will be exposed to various sleep assessment techniques, including EEG, actimetry, diary, and hands-on experiences. The course will guide students through the essential steps of designing an experiment, including literature research, formulating hypotheses, and selecting a study design and methodology. Additionally, the course touches on the functions of sleep and its connection to the gut microbiome. By the end of the course, students will have the skills to conduct self-experiments, review scientific literature, and evaluate and interpret data.
