Sleep Language and Memory (SLAM) Lab

Welcome to the SLAM lab! We're a research group based in the Department of Psychology at the University of York.

Our research is focused on understanding the role of sleep in two broad areas:

• Memory Consolidation and Emotion Regulation

• Language Acquisition and Development

In our state-of-the-art, three-bedroom sleep laboratory, we use a variety of research techniques to better understand the role of sleep in cognition and health. 

Our ongoing collaboration with York Neuroimaging Centre allows us to carry out research with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). 

If you have further questions about our research please contact us.

Cutting Edge Research

The SLAM lab has a live research grant portfolio of over £3 million, allowing us to gain novel insights into the critical functions of sleep.
