This study shows that blindness changes occipital cortex dynamics to resemble frontal cortex, enhancing top-down connectivity and linking faster dynamics to stronger frontal influence.

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.

This study analyzes dream content using a multimodal dataset to show how individual traits and external events shape dream experiences.

The paper identifies two distinct slow-wave subtypes in NREM sleep based on thalamic involvement and synchronization mechanisms using EEG-fMRI data.

This study examines how immersive NREM dreaming affects perceived sleep depth despite declining sleep pressure.

This study identifies factors influencing morning dream recall in adults, finding associations with attitude towards dreaming, mind wandering, sleep patterns, age, and interference vulnerability.

This study tests a combined sensory and cognitive approach to induce lucid dreaming, finding higher rates of signal-verified lucid dreams with sensory cues compared to sham conditions.

This study uses EEG-fMRI to examine age-related changes in cortical and thalamic activity during slow waves in children, showing posterior-to-anterior shifts and thalamic maturation.

This study shows that short-term monocular deprivation alters neural responses to visual and audio-visual events in an eye-specific manner, with increased excitability in the deprived eye and enhanced audio-visual responses in the undeprived eye.

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.

The paper shows that emotion suppression failures are linked to increased sleep-like brain activity in specific regions and are influenced by prior sleep duration.

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.
