Hemodynamic cerebral correlates of sleep spindles during human non-rapid eye movement sleep

In humans, some evidence suggests that there are two different types of spindles during sleep, which differ by their scalp topography and possibly some aspects of their regulation. To test for the existence of two different spindle types, we characterized the activity associated with slow (11-13 …
