[Memory facilitation by auditory stimulation during paradoxal sleep in man].
REM sleep involvement in memory processes was demonstrated in animals and humans. Learning sessions are followed by modifications of REM sleep patterns. Furthermore, one can modify sleep patterns by applying auditory stimulation during REM sleep oculomotor activity. We show that such a procedure facilitates the retention of Morse code learning.
