Overview

Reto Huber is affiliated with the University of Zurich in Switzerland and conducts research primarily at the intersection of neuroscience and psychology. Their work encompasses both broad and specialized fields, including cognitive neuroscience and experimental and cognitive psychology.

Their research focuses extensively on topics related to sleep and wakefulness, encompassing investigations into sleep and related disorders, EEG and brain-computer interfaces, circadian rhythms and melatonin, neural dynamics and brain function, as well as work-related fatigue and neuropharmacology.

Huber's recent publications illustrate a concentration on various aspects of sleep research. Notable recent papers include:

  • The effects of exercise on sleep quality in persons with Parkinson's disease: A systematic review with meta-analysis (2020, Sleep Medicine Reviews)
  • Spatio-temporal properties of sleep slow waves and implications for development (2020, Current Opinion in Physiology)
  • The Theta Paradox: 4-8 Hz EEG Oscillations Reflect Both Sleep Pressure and Cognitive Control (2022, Journal of Neuroscience)
  • Auditory deep sleep stimulation in older adults at home: a randomized crossover trial (2022, Communications Medicine)
  • Association Between Homeschooling and Adolescent Sleep Duration and Health During COVID-19 Pandemic High School Closures (2022, JAMA Network Open)

Frequent co-authors collaborating with Huber include Walter Karlen, Salomé Kurth, Caroline Lustenberger, Valeria Jaramillo, and Sophia Snipes. These collaborations contribute to the breadth of Huber's research network, with multiple joint publications in their fields of study.
