Summary:

Sleep and Sleep medicine are hot topics in medicine as well as neuroscience and cognitive neuroscience. How the auditory system functions during sleep, and what impact that has on the brain, is still not well understood. This book shows a different viewpoint on sleep, integrating a sensory system in the whole brain and focusing on physiological conditions. Moreover, it exhibits the coordination among evoked potentials, fMRI, PET, SPECT, lesions, etc., together with electrophysiological online data.* Presents diverse experimental viewpoints from the beginning of classical electroenceph
