“…Here, we apply graph theoretical analysis to study functional connectivity in sleep, as the loss of consciousness in sleep is paradoxically accompanied by similar or even increased functional connectivity (Ferri et al, 2007(Ferri et al, , 2008Horovitz et al, 2008;Dimitriadis et al, 2009;Larson-Prior et al, 2009). Graph theory analysis of scalp electroencephalography (EEG) during sleep revealed not only increased neocortical connectivity but also increased small-world properties on specific frequency bands (Ferri et al, 2007(Ferri et al, , 2008Dimitriadis et al, 2009).…”
