To assess how idiopathic and post-traumatic nightmares relate to exposure to childhood adversity, how nightmares may be related to cognitive and emotional wakefulness functions, and what neurocognitive, neurophysiological and emotional measures distinguish people with nightmares from control participants. The methodology used includes several brain imaging techniques including quantitative electroencephalogram analysis (qEEG), high resolution single photon emission tomography (HR-SPECT) neuroimaging and functional magnetic resonance neuroimaging (fMRI).<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
