prevalent disorders and is the primary risk factor for the development of
depression. The Sleep & Cognition research group aims to elucidate the
brain mechanisms underlying chronic insomnia and the risk it infers for the
development of depression. We use a wide variety of research instruments to do
so, including structural and functional neuroimaging, high-density EEG,
ambulatory recording including experience sampling and psychometric assessment
using internet in a sample of >10.000 volunteers (<a href="http://sleepregistry.nl" class="">sleepregistry.nl</a>).</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:
