简介
Study Objectives
To investigate the neural correlates of lucid dreaming.
Design
Parallel EEG/fMRI recordings of night sleep.
Setting
Sleep laboratory and fMRI facilities.
Participants
Four experienced lucid dreamers.
Interventions
N/A.
Measurements and Results
Out of 4 participants, one subject had 2 episodes of verified lucid REM sleep of sufficient length to be analyzed by fMRI. During lucid dreaming the bilateral precuneus, cuneus, parietal lobules, and prefrontal and occipito-temporal cortices activated strongly as compared with non-lucid REM sleep.
