During Rem Sleep the Eeg Shows?

Following a period of slow-wave sleep, however, EEG recordings show that the stages of sleep reverse to reach a quite different state called rapid eye movement, or REM, sleep. In REM sleep, the EEG recordings are remarkably similar to that of the awake state (see Figure 28.5).

Which EEG waves are recorded during REM sleep?

In addition to the 3 features already named, "saw tooth" waves also are seen in REM sleep. EEG desynchronization: The EEG background activity changes from that seen in slow wave sleep (stage III or IV) to faster and lower voltage activity (theta and beta), resembling wakefulness.

What are the brain waves during REM sleep?

Delta waves are associated with the deep sleep stages, stage 3 and REM. During stage 3, less than half of brain waves consist of delta waves, while more than half of brain activity consists of delta waves during REM sleep.
