Sara Mednick is Professor of Cognitive Science at UC Irvine, where she directs the Sleep and Cognition Lab. Her research examines sleep's role in memory formation and cognitive function.
Research combines EEG, pharmacology, and behavioral methods to study sleep-dependent memory consolidation. Current projects investigate REM sleep mechanisms, wearable sleep monitoring, and hormonal influences on cognition.
The lab develops novel paradigms like the Minecraft Memory and Navigation task to study spatial memory and has pioneered research on napping's cognitive benefits. Professor Mednick is author of 'Take a Nap! Change Your Life' and the forthcoming 'The Hidden Power of the Downstate'.
