Brain State Laboratory
A Mayo Clinic research lab studying how human brains move between wakefulness and sleep, using recordings made from inside the brain.
- For
- Readers curious about human sleep and computational neuroscience
- Worth noticing
- The lab studies wakefulness, REM sleep, and three depths of non-REM using recordings made from within the brain.
Field notes
The laboratory frames sleep research as a problem of transitions, not just classification: computational state spaces provide paths between regions of activity. Its evidence base includes clinically indicated intracranial recordings collected over extended periods, and the site places the work within Mayo Clinic's Department of Neurologic Surgery. Research, Publications, and People links indicate a deeper public-facing structure, while the separate lab login suggests additional restricted material.
