Overview

Sophie Schwartz is affiliated with the University of Geneva in Switzerland and focuses their research on neuroscience. Their work primarily explores cognitive neuroscience, with specific investigations in experimental and cognitive psychology, endocrine and autonomic systems, cellular and molecular neuroscience, and neurology.

The scientist has contributed extensively to the study of sleep and wakefulness, memory and neural mechanisms, and EEG and brain-computer interfaces. Their research also covers sleep-related disorders, neural dynamics and brain function, neuroscience and music perception, as well as circadian rhythm and melatonin.

Some recent publications by Sophie Schwartz include:

  • Enhancing imagery rehearsal therapy for nightmares with targeted memory reactivation, 2022, Current Biology
  • Reward biases spontaneous neural reactivation during sleep, 2021, Nature Communications
  • A single session of moderate intensity exercise influences memory, endocannabinoids and brain derived neurotrophic factor levels in men, 2021, Scientific Reports
  • NREM sleep stages specifically alter dynamical integration of large-scale brain networks, 2020, iScience
  • Effects of cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia on subjective and objective measures of sleep and cognition, 2022, Sleep Medicine

Their most frequent co-authors include Virginie Sterpenich, Lampros Perogamvros, Aurore A. Perrault, Guillaume Legendre, and Maëva Moyne.

Sophie Schwartz's work is frequently published in venues such as bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Scientific Reports, Nature Communications, the International Journal of Psychophysiology, and Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research).
