Dreaming During Anesthesia

A collaboration between the University of Oslo and the University of Zurich investigating dreaming during general anesthesia. The project examines how frequently dream-like experiences occur under anesthesia, what their phenomenological character is, and what neural signatures accompany them.

The work connects consciousness science, sleep research, and clinical anesthesiology, and extends prior research on dreaming during propofol sedation. It has implications for understanding the neural conditions that support conscious experience during pharmacological suppression of normal brain function.
