[Real-time automatic analysis of sleep-waking behavior in the rat recorded by telemetry (author's transl)]

The authors present a method of real-time automatic analysis of the sleep-waking cycle in the rat recorded by a miniature telemetry system. This method detects seven behavioural phases second by second. The correspondance computer-corrector is 88 p. 100 for the three principal phases: waking, slow sleep and paradoxical sleep.
