EEG patterns of RPS in man

3/sec "saw-tooth" waves occurring at the vertex-frontal (FV), and vertex-parietal (VP) region, before REM (yeux). Alpha rhythm at the occipItal. region (TO-ODG). Irregularity of respiration. These two recordings have been made during two successive periods of RPS in the same night in a normal adu1t subject. This subject was aroused at the end of these RPS and remembered having dreamt.

Scale: 1 sec.
