Description
This book presents for the first time a view of a sensory system working in a different state-that of the sleeping brain. The auditory
system is always “open” receiving information from the environment and the body itself (conscious and unconscious data). Even during
sleep the auditory information is processed, although in a different way. This book draws information from evoked potentials, fMRI, PET,
SPECT, lesions, etc., together with electrophysiological online data in order to depict how the auditory system single unit activity,
recorded during sleep, revealed the possibility of sensory information participation in sleep processes.
Audience:
Basic sleep and auditory system researchers (human and animal research) from all over the world. MD´s in the Otolaryngology and Sleep
Medicine area from any country. Students, both in basic (Master and Doctorate degree) as well as in clinical field (MD students, residents
and young MD´s looking forward to be part of Otolaryngology and/or Sleep Medicine.
