Slow-wave sleep as a key player in offline memory processing: insights from human EEG studies

Slow-wave sleep (SWS) plays a pivotal role in memory consolidation, and electroencephalography (EEG) has provided critical insights into the neural mechanisms underlying these processes. In this mini-review, we discuss how SWS supports the processing of both declarative and procedural memory, in add...
