Abstract:Human sleep exhibits multiple, recurrent temporal regularities, ranging from circadian rhythms to sleep stage cycles and neuronal oscillations during non-rapid eye movement (non-REM) sleep. Moreover, recent evidence revealed a functional role of aperiodic activity, which reliably discriminates different sleep stages. Aperiodic activity is commonly defined as the spectral slopeχof the 1/frequency (1/fχ) decay function of the electrophysiological power spectrum. However, several lines of inquiry now indicate tha… Show more
