Review lessons? Learn Russian ? What if it was possible to do it while sleeping? Teams of researchers from the CNRS and the Hôtel Dieu have looked into the brain's capacities during sleep and have thus discovered that the latter does not "cut off" at all when we sleep:it is in fact capable of recognizing things he heard while we were sleeping. From there to say that we can learn while being asleep, there is only one step...
The test carried out is simple:it involved passing “white” noises (random auditory frequencies superimposed) on a loop to subjects asleep for a full night. Following this, the researchers tested the sleepers' reactions by having them listen to different noises (those already heard + new ones) and observed their reactions. The results were astonishing:the sounds passed on a loop were recognized by the guinea pigs, which proves that the brain is not switched off when we sleep and suggests that we can learn things while sleeping since the brain is “remembers” when waking up. However, the brain also needs rest and especially deep sleep, the one that deletes unnecessary information to make room. So the plans on the comet of the style "to teach lessons while sleeping", we must forget. The researchers are categorical:it is almost impossible to remember sentences or even words while sleeping.
But "impossible is not French" right? Case to follow, very closely!
