What Is Lost During Dreamless Sleep: The Relationship Between Neural Connectivity Patterns and Consciousness
Journal of European Psychology Students November 13, 2014 Michaela Klimova
Non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep is characterised by reduced consciousness; thus, studying its neural characteristics acts as a useful indication of what is needed for conscious experience. The integrated information theory (Tononi, 2008) states that the ability of different thalamocortical regions to interact is crucial for consciousness, thereby motivating research concerning connectivity...
