This study examines how natural and auditory-evoked slow waves affect cardiovascular function after sleep, finding that synchronized type I slow waves are linked to cardiovascular responses.

The paper identifies a neural marker of peripersonal space (PPS) integration in EEG data and shows its presence correlates with conscious states in sleep and disorders of consciousness.

This paper shows that aperiodic EEG activity is a better marker of vigilance than oscillatory features, across different states and datasets.

This study interviews patients with Non-REM parasomnias to characterize the variability in consciousness and environmental disconnection during episodes, finding a spectrum from automatic behaviors to dream-like conscious experiences.

The paper investigates EEG correlates of parasomnia experiences and finds similarities with dream-related neural activity.

This study maps cortical and subcortical hemodynamic changes during human sleep slow waves using EEG-fMRI recordings, showing regional BOLD signal fluctuations linked to slow wave propagation and functional connectivity.

This study identifies determinants of subjective sleep perception through high-density EEG recordings and interviews during serial awakenings in individuals with and without sleep misperception.

This study compares wPLI and wSMI metrics for detecting brain functional interactions, finding they capture distinct types of linear and nonlinear interdependencies in EEG data.

The paper shows that visual experience during wakefulness affects slow wave activity in the occipital cortex during sleep, with internal visual imagery modulating these changes.

The paper identifies two types of low-frequency oscillations in human REM sleep and links them to distinct functional roles and generation mechanisms.

The paper identifies a posterior cortical region with low-frequency activity decreases and high-frequency activity correlations with dream content during both NREM and REM sleep.
