Title Sleep from the Perspective of Cognitive and Social Neuroscience
Description Does sleep deprivation make us more selfish?
Do we become more sensitive to other people after a poor night's sleep? And does sleep influence how we evaluate risks or make (social) decisions?

Sleep is a fundamental biological prerequisite for well-being and optimal functioning. Neuroscientific research increasingly demonstrates that sleep not only affects memory, attention, and emotion, but also plays an important role in social and cognitive processes.

In this seminar, we will explore the neurobiological foundations of sleep and their relevance for social and cognitive processes based on current research. Topics include social perception, emotions, prosocial behavior, risk-taking, memory, as well as individual and environmental factors that influence sleep. In addition, we will discuss current approaches to the targeted modulation of sleep and their potential to enhance social and cognitive functioning.
