From an interdisciplinary perspective including neuroscience, medicine, the humanities and art, the meeting aims at (1) advancing and disseminating scientific knowledge on how specific sleep processes aid memory consolidation (2) inspiring science and arts to adopt new approaches to the importance of sleep and dreams (3) benefiting society by promoting awareness for good sleep habits and their effect on cognitive well-being.

Dans une perspective interdisciplinaire incluant les neurosciences, la médecine, les sciences humaines et l'art, ce colloque vise à (1) faire progresser et diffuser les connaissances scientifiques sur la façon dont des processus spécifiques du sommeil favorisent la consolidation de la mémoire ; (2) encourager les sciences et les arts à adopter de nouvelles approches relatives à l'importance des rêves et du sommeil ; (3) en faire bénéficier la société en favorisant la prise de conscience des bonnes habitudes de sommeil et de leurs effets sur le bien-être cognitif.
