    Brain activity shows cyclic correlations between hemispheres during sleep. These EEG signal variations are synchronized with the Rapid Eye Movement (REM) and Non-Rapid Eye Movement (NREM) sleep cycles.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Sleep Science
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Background:

    • Understanding interhemispheric communication during sleep is crucial for deciphering brain function.
    • Previous research has explored EEG signal characteristics across different sleep stages.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the cyclic variations in electroencephalogram (EEG) signal correlations between the left and right brain hemispheres during sleep.
    • To compare these correlations during REM sleep versus NREM sleep.

    Main Methods:

    • Computed correlation coefficients of EEG signals between hemispheres across various frequency bands in 11 healthy adults during sleep.
    • Analyzed correlations locally within REM-NREM cycles and over the entire night.
    • Utilized statistical analysis and visual comparison with hypnograms.

    Main Results:

    • Cyclic variations in delta and/or sigma frequency band correlation coefficients were observed in 9 out of 11 subjects.
    • These variations persisted throughout the night and were synchronized with the REM-NREM sleep cycle.
    • Findings suggest a dynamic interhemispheric relationship during sleep.

    Conclusions:

    • The study demonstrates synchronized, cyclic variations in interhemispheric EEG correlations with the sleep cycle.
    • These findings may offer insights into the functional connectivity of the brain during different sleep stages.
    • Further research could explore the link between these correlational patterns and amplitude-based interhemispheric relationships.
