Effect of unilateral somatosensory stimulation prior to sleep on the sleep EEG in humans
Open accessAbstract
SUMMARY The hypothesis that local activation of brain regions during wakefulness affects the EEG recorded from these regions during sleep was tested by applying vibratory stimuli to one hand prior to sleep. Eight subjects slept in the laboratory for five consecutive nights. During a 6‐h period prior to night 3, either the left or the right hand was vibrated intermittently (20 min on‐8 min off), while prior to night 5 the same treatment was applied to the contralateral hand. The sleep EEG was recorded from frontal, central, parietal and occipital derivations and subjected to spectral analysis. The interhemispheric asymmetry index (IAI) was calculated for spectral power in nonREM sleep in the frequency range 0.25‐25.0 Hz for 0.5‐Hz or 1‐Hz bins. In the first hour of sleep following right‐hand stimulation, the IAI of the central derivation was increased relative to baseline, which corresponds to a shift of power towards the left hemisphere. This effect was most prominent in the delta range, was limited to the first hour of sleep and was restricted to the central derivation situated over the somatosensory cortex. No significant changes were observed following left‐hand stimulation. Although the effect was small, it is consistent with the hypothesis that the activation of specific neuronal populations during wakefulness may have repercussions on their electrical activity pattern during subsequent sleep.

In animals, the encoding and learning of information during waking produced consistent increases in SWA in respective cortical networks during subsequent SWS.
“In animals, the encoding and learning of information during waking produced consistent increases in SWA in respective cortical networks during subsequent SWS (624, 1263).”
From About Sleep's Role in Memory (2013) · cites this paper as [624]
The Summary (p. 1) and Discussion (p. 3) report a local increase in delta-range sleep EEG power after waking somatosensory stimulation in humans. They do not report animal learning or information encoding, and the increase was limited to the first hour after right-hand stimulation; no significant change followed left-hand stimulation. Thus the paper supports a narrower local, use-dependent effect, not the claimed consistent finding in animals. (LLM, conf=0.88)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
