  • 2008 - Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)

Overview

Matthias Mölle is affiliated with the University of Lübeck in Germany and focuses primarily on research in neuroscience and psychology. Their work spans several subfields, including cognitive neuroscience, experimental and cognitive psychology, endocrine and autonomic systems, developmental and educational psychology, as well as cellular and molecular neuroscience.

The main research topics covered by Matthias Mölle include:

  • Sleep and Wakefulness Research
  • Neural dynamics and brain function
  • Sleep and related disorders
  • Memory and Neural Mechanisms
  • EEG and Brain-Computer Interfaces
  • Circadian rhythm and melatonin
  • Photoreceptor and optogenetics research

Matthias has published extensively in various scientific venues. Frequent publication outlets include:

  • Nature Communications
  • European Journal of Neuroscience
  • SLEEP
  • NeuroImage
  • SLEEP Advances

Their recent notable research articles include:

  • "Sleep-dependent memory consolidation in infants protects new episodic memories from existing semantic memories" (2020, Nature Communications)
  • "Acoustic closed-loop stimulation during sleep improves consolidation of reward-related memory information in healthy children but not in children with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder" (2020, SLEEP)
  • "Coupling of gamma band activity to sleep spindle oscillations - a combined EEG/MEG study" (2020, NeuroImage)
  • "Memory for nonadjacent dependencies in the first year of life and its relation to sleep" (2022, Nature Communications)
  • "Acute mild dim light at night slightly modifies sleep but does not affect glucose homeostasis in healthy men" (2021, Sleep Medicine)

Among frequent co-authors, Matthias has collaborated regularly with Jan Born, Lisa Marshall, Manuela Friedrich, Maxim Bazhenov, and Angela D. Friederici.

Matthias Mölle's work intersects extensive research into the neural mechanisms underlying memory consolidation during sleep, as well as how brain oscillations relate to cognitive processes. The combination of EEG and MEG methods appears in their investigations, reflecting an interest in brain-computer interfaces and neural dynamics.

In recognition of contributions to their scientific field, Matthias Mölle was named a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) in 2008.
