Data-driven mod­el­ling approach to cir­ca­dian tem­per­at­ure rhythm pro­files in free-liv­ing con­di­tions

Pandemic Dreams: Network Analysis of Dream Content During the COVID-19 Lockdown

We used crowdsourcing (CS) to examine how COVID-19 lockdown affects the content of dreams and nightmares. The CS took place on the sixth week of the lockdown. We transcribed the content of the dreams into word lists and performed unsupervised computational network and cluster analysis of word associations, which suggested 33 dream clusters including 20 bad dream clusters, of which 55% were pandemic-specific. The article was spread widely in the international press.
