In order for you to familiarize yourself with our environment, this section also provides information on our doctors, technical team and installations, and on how to obtain a clinical consultation.

The Research section features details about our research teams, their leaders, their scientific themes and interests, and their current activities and technological advances. A new generation of scientists recently joined our group of internationally renowned researchers and has enabled even more enriched and diversified collaborations. With the establishment of novel, original and innovative research themes and installation of the latest technologies, the CARSM is sure to remain in the forefront of progress in sleep research.

On the other pages of our website, you will find information about what types of participants we need for a variety of sleep and neuroscience studies and how to participate in ongoing studies, as well as notices about what human ressources may be needed by our different research teams.
