Björn Rasch studies human memory and sleep-associated processing. His odor-cue experiment presented a learning-associated odor during slow-wave sleep and measured later performance on a declarative memory task. Manipulating the timing and association of a cue helps distinguish reactivation of learned material from a general benefit of any odor or any interruption during sleep. [ref]
