Study links brain waves to misremembering of negative, irrelevant information

A good night's sleep has long been understood to help us consolidate new memories, but we don't understand how. Associations with negative feelings like fear or stress can improve recall, but intentionally trying to remember can also be effective. But these two mechanisms are very different - one involuntary, one deliberate.
