Neurophysiological correlates of self-awareness during sleep ('lucid dreaming') remain unclear despite their importance for clarifying the neural underpinnings of consciousness. Transcranial direct (tDC) and alternating (tAC) current stimulation during sleep have been shown to increase dream self-awareness, but these studies' methodological weaknesses prompted us to undertake additional study. tAC stimulation was associated with signal-verified and self-rated lucid dreams-but so was the sham procedure. Situational factors may be crucial to inducing self-awareness during sleep.
尽管睡眠中自我意识的神经生理学相关性对于阐明意识的神经基础很重要,但它们仍不清楚。睡眠期间经颅直流电(tDC)和交流电(tAC)刺激已被证明可以提高梦境中的自我意识,但这些研究的方法学缺陷促使我们进行了额外的研究。tAC 刺激与信号验证和自我评定的清醒梦有关——但假程序也是如此。情境因素可能对诱导睡眠中的自我意识至关重要。
