Discovery of key whole-brain transitions and dynamics during human wakefulness and non-REM sleep
Nature Communications, 2019 The modern understanding of sleep is based on the classification of sleep into stages defined by their electroencephalography (EEG) signatures, but the underlying brain dynamics remain unclear. Here we aimed to move significantly beyond the current state-
