Experimental task. (A) Drawings of the 3 visuo-spatial contexts (drawings of the pictures used were made by Salomé Blain, the original pictures can be seen in Saive et al.34,35). The odors were presented when clicking in the yellow circles added on the pictures. (B) Photo showing the experimental setup with the breathing apparatus (copyright holder: Partick Minary, INSERM). (C) The temporal course of the encoding and retrieval sessions. During the encoding, the participants discovered one episode per day (during 7 min) over 3 days. During the night at home, they woke up at 5 am and at their usual waking time to record their dreams with a voice recorder (Dream report). In the morning they fill in a questionnaire about dream content (Q. dream content). The last day, they underwent a retrieval session and filled in a final questionnaire (Final Q.). (D) In the retrieval session, the memory of the episodes was tested using an odor-recognition task followed for the ‘Yes’ trials by an episodic memory retrieval task. The perfume bottle and the clock were drawn by the authors. All rights reserved, this image is not included under the Creative Commons licence for the article.
