Playing sounds to people while they sleep could help them forget specific memories, a new study suggests.
First author of the study, Dr Bardur Joensen, a former PhD student at the Department of Psychology, University of York, said: ‘Although still highly experimental at this stage, the results of our study raise the possibility that we can both increase and decrease the ability to recall specific memories by playing sound cues when an individual is asleep.
But this time, when the pairs of words were overlapping, and participants were played audio of one of the words, they found an increase in memory for one pair, but a decrease in memory for the other pair.
