Could I sleep and learn at the same time!? :D

Hello everyone! This blog will be about something really complicated, Neuroscience.
- This information is taken from the book “The birth of a learning science”, chapter six the part of “Learn while you sleep” -
This part of the book part saying that it would be really nice if you can learn while you are sleeping, says that the original idea of this came from science fiction.
In World War II people thought that this could be really helpful for the spies, because they can learn any language and information of someone while they were sleeping.
Have been made lots of test, from different scientifics to different people, and the results was not very convincing (only one of twenty kids remember the book that was reading for them while they were sleeping), there are other studies using EEG (encephalogram), to know when the person was in a “light sleep” (when they just go to sleep or more in the morning), but this also didn’t say too much. It also says that in case of anesthetic, some people had remembers of the surgery.
Anyway, there is no reliable evidence that says that you can learn while you sleep. But says that if you study something before you go to sleep, this will help to consolidate your knowledge

I think this is a very interesting theme, because there is nothing sure about the knowledge of the brain and his operation, so everything is bases on someone’s believes or interpretation plus the results of the experiments. In this case I’m not really sure about the conclusion reached, because the experiment didn’t convince me, because in some cases exist people that remember something, maybe not all, but something is something; and that has to mean something isn’t?
I really hope in a few years we can know more about this!
See you!
