Sleep Slow Wave‐Bistability and the Connection Between the Sleeping Brain and the Environment—Neurobiological Considerations

open access: yesJournal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
Bistability is an inherent working mode of NREM sleep. Those bistable patterns ‐ sleep slow waves, K‐complexes, and the cyclic alternating pattern (on a longer, several seconds' time‐scale) ‐ have a double function; they protect sleep and provide an interface between the brain and the environment for information‐transfer during sleep.

Tone‐Evoked Sleep Electroencephalographic Slow Oscillations as a Function of Peripheral Rhythms: New Insights Into the Brain–Heart Integration

open access: yesJournal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Recent studies have shown that acoustic stimulation, a common neuromodulation technique, can enhance slow‐wave activity (SWA), which is associated with immune, autonomic nervous system activity and cognitive health benefits. Despite some disagreement, many studies suggest that maximising tone‐evoked SWA depends on the timing of the acoustic ...

Differential Nap‐To‐Nap Stability of Sleep Spindles, Slow Waves, and their Temporal Coupling: An Exploratory Study

open access: yesJournal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Slow waves and sleep spindles characterise non‐rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep and support cognitive and plasticity‐related functions. While their stability across nights is well established, less is known about their consistency across daytime naps.

The Interplay Between Emotion Dysregulation and Repetitive Thoughts in Insomnia Disorder: The Impact of Worry, Rumination and REM Sleep Instability

open access: yesJournal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While previous research has identified emotional dysregulation and repetitive thinking as contributors to insomnia, the interplay between these factors remains unclear. Building upon data previously collected in our laboratory, this exploratory study extends prior findings by examining the mediating role of rumination, worry and rapid eye ...

The Potential of Ensemble‐Based Automated Sleep Staging on Single‐Channel EEG Signal From a Wearable Device

open access: yesJournal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Machine‐learning‐based sleep staging models have achieved expert‐level performance on standard polysomnographic (PSG) data. However, their application to EEG recorded by wearable devices remains limited by non‐conventional referencing montage and the lack of benchmarking against PSG.

How Do They Feel? Processing Others’ Emotions in Second Language Discourse

open access: yesLanguage Learning, EarlyView.
Abstract Emotion that is implied rather than literally expressed requires the processing of literal and pragmatic information. Processing multiple information types is an easy, fast process in the first language (L1) but can be costlier in a second language (L2), especially when emotional content is involved.
