Deep sleep, or slow-wave sleep, is a restorative stage in the sleep cycle. It's thought to be essential for memory consolidation. It occurs early in the night and is dominated by slow, high-amplitude delta waves. "Slow Waves in the Midnight Deep" Mixed media and cold wax #sciart 🧪🧠 #sleep
Upside-down woman asleep with wave patterns in her hair. Recorded Delta waves patterns in green mark the bottom of the painting. A hypnogram of week’s worth of sleep data frame the figure. Vertical bands present the data: Deep sleep is indicated my midnight blue, light blue is light sleep, pale blue is REM and white is awake. #art #painting
