EEG signals were recorded in 11 normal subiects from F4-C4, F3-C3, P4-02 and P3-01 during both stage 2 and the REM stage of each NREM/REM cycle. The logarithm of the right/left ratio for the power in the range of the various frequency bands showed a prevalent right-side asymmetry only with the fronto-central derivations. This trend, observed for all frequency bands, remained stable over the various NREM/REM cycles with the exception of the last one. These data indirectly support the hypothesis that the right hemisphere is more heavily involved in dreaming than the left, and suggest a prevalent involvement of the anterior regions.

Abstract

EEG signals were recorded in 11 normal subiects from F4-C4, F3-C3, P4-02 and P3-01 during both stage 2 and the REM stage of each NREM/REM cycle. The logarithm of the right/left ratio for the power in the range of the various frequency bands showed a prevalent right-side asymmetry only with the fronto-central derivations. This trend, observed for all frequency bands, remained stable over the various NREM/REM cycles with the exception of the last one. These data indirectly support the hypothesis that the right hemisphere is more heavily involved in dreaming than the left, and suggest a prevalent involvement of the anterior regions.
