Resumen de Emperor of the night
Robson narrates how modern dream research is finally waking up to the nocturnal exploits of an eccentric French nobleman named Marquis d'Hervey de Saint-Denys. Some experiments have even tried to boost subjects' recollection by priming their sleeping brains with smells and sounds associated with certain memories, in studies remarkably reminiscent of the marquis's investigations. More recently, researchers have been revisiting lucid dreaming to understand what happens when, within a dream, someone becomes aware of the fact they are dreaming. What they have found so far suggests lucid awareness is linked to high-frequency activity in the brain's frontal and parietal lobes.
