Understanding sleep
3 days ago · They found that the model could differentiate between sleep and wake from just milliseconds of brain activity data. Credit: Neuroscience News. They also show that small regions of the brain can momentarily “flicker” awake while the rest of the brain remains asleep, and vice versa from wake to sleep. These findings, described in a new study ...
