Global field synchronization reveals rapid eye movement sleep as most synchronized brain state in the human EEG


" In contrast to what is observed in power spectral measures, we find greatest global synchrony (GFS) during REM sleep when compared with NREM sleep and waking. This disassociation between power and GFS is not surprising given that GFS is independent of power and is a measure of phase synchrony across all derivations. " {Credits 1}
