Abstract
Described is a system for enhancing memories during sleep. The system detects, via at least one sensor, brain activity of a user as the user learns a new episode pattern or recalls an episode pattern. The episode pattern is temporally compressed. A specific sleep stage is detected in the user. Upon detection of the specific sleep stage, the system automatically recreates the temporally compressed episode pattern by applying neural stimulation to the user to ensure the consolidation of the episode pattern in the user.
