Fine Structure of Human Sleep
Unraveled
Philip Low, Salk
I will show that, contrary to current scientific belief, human waking
and sleep stages
can unambiguously be distinguished using a single channel
of EEG. Moreover, I will
show that Slow Wave Sleep is not Slow, that Rapid Eye Movement (REM)
sleep is not
"awake-like", "paradoxical " or "desynchronized." In addition, I will
present preliminary
analysis revealing the presence of a novel human sleep state.
