Dormir para recordar: cómo el sueño moldea nuestros recuerdos | Dr. Abdelrahman Rayan | TEDxHSRW

El neurocientífico Abdelrahman Rayan sostiene que el sueño es un estado cerebral activo y no una pausa pasiva. En su charla de TEDxHSRW explica cómo el sueño ayuda al cerebro a estabilizar, reorganizar e integrar los recuerdos, de modo que parte de un día se traslada al siguiente. La charla se basa en la neurociencia y en la experiencia cotidiana del sueño. Su investigación en la Universidad Radboud de Nimega estudia cómo cambian los estados cerebrales entre la vigilia y el sueño.

• El sueño como proceso cerebral activo
• Cómo se estabilizan y reconfiguran los recuerdos al dormir
• Estados cerebrales entre la vigilia y el sueño

What happens to your day when we fall asleep? Neuroscientist Dr. Abdel Rayan explores how sleep helps the brain stabilize, reorganize, and integrate memories, turning the day’s experiences into tomorrow's memories. The talk shows that sleep isn't a passive break or wasted time, but an active process in which the brain uses experience to make memories last. Filmed and edited by Fotocinema (Arkadiusz Tomala). Dr. Abdel Rayan is a neuroscientist and founder with a broad background spanning medicine, systems neuroscience, computational neuroscience, and mathematical modelling. His work explores how the brain reorganizes its activity as it moves between wakefulness and sleep, and how these changing brain states support memory consolidation. At Radboud University and Radboudumc in Nijmegen, he uses AI and machine learning to explore sleep states across species, bridging animal and human sleep research to better understand how the brain processes experience and memories during sleep. In his TEDx talk, Abdel invites the audience to rethink sleep: not as a passive break during the night, but as an active brain state in which the brain works with experience and memory. Drawing on neuroscience and the everyday experience of sleep, he explores how the brain stabilizes and reshapes memories, allowing parts of one day to be carried into the next.
