SOMNAMBULISM: ALL-NIGHT ELECTROENCEPHALOGRAPHIC STUDIES

A JACOBSON et al. Science. .

Abstract

Using special techniques allowing for subject mobility, we obtained continuous electroencephalographic recordings of known sleepwalkers. Somnambulistic incidents occurred during periods of slow-wave sleep. The incidents were not related temporally to dream periods, nor did they affect the total time or the percentage of time spent dreaming during the nights on which the subjects were studied.
