Nielsen's concept of covert REM sleep is a path toward a more realistic view of sleep psychophysiology
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 21 September 2001
Abstract
Nielsen's concept of “covert REM sleep” accounts for more of the complexity in sleep psychophysiology than its conceptual predecessors such as the tonic-phasic model. With new neuroimaging findings, such concepts lead to more precise sleep psychophysiology including both traditional polysomnographic signs and neuronal activity in greater proximity to the actual point sources and distributed networks which generate dreaming.
