Among those topics are proxy incubations and priestly incubation, an illustrated catalog of incubation reliefs from the cults of Asklepios and
Amphiaraos, hypnos/somnus and oneiros as evidence for incubation at Asklepieia: a reassessment, Egyptian festivals and divinatory incubation, and whether lepers' visions at Hammat Gader (Emmatha) are a form of incubation in late antique Syria.
