This is my millestone paper on Sleep and Social Learning. Specifically, we found that social learning-induced evaluation updating can be modulated during human sleep, and the modulation is associated with the cue-elicited delta-theta power and overnight N2 sleep spindle, which provides a new perspective on the role of sleep in social learning.

This is my undergraduate thesis project. We found that gamma-band neural coupling during conceptual alignment with EEG-based hyperscanning, and further examined whether enhancing gamma-band neural coupling through hyper-tACS could improve the performance of conceptual alignment.
