The authors have studied the EEG characteristics of 188 children aged 1-4, without serious pathology, during waking and falling asleep spontaneously in the afternoon. The children were divided into 3 groups: aged 12-23 months, 24-35 months and 36-47 months. On falling asleep the EEG appearances varied, but hypersynchrony was most marked in the youngest children and in the older group theta activity was commonest. Only 3 of the 188 children had runs of paroxysmal activity on falling asleep. The waking study again showed appearances governed by the patients' age with respect to 7 c/sec activity on provoked waking, but the appearances were more diverse on spontaneous waking and anterior theta activity only occurred in the oldest children. In general, a relation appeared to exist between the EEG appearance on falling asleep and on waking, in the respect that children falling asleep without hypersynchrony never wake up with it.
作者研究了188名1至4岁无严重病理状况的儿童在下午清醒及自然入睡过程中的脑电图特征。这些儿童被分为3组：12至23个月、24至35个月和36至47个月。入睡时脑电图表现各异，但最年幼的儿童中高同步性最为明显，而在年龄较大的组中θ活动最为常见。188名儿童中只有3名在入睡时有阵发性活动发作。清醒状态研究再次表明，在诱发清醒时，脑电图表现受患者年龄影响，与7次/秒的活动有关，但在自然清醒时表现更为多样，且仅在年龄最大的儿童中出现前头部θ活动。总体而言，入睡和清醒时的脑电图表现之间似乎存在一种关系，即入睡时无高同步性的儿童醒来时也不会出现高同步性。
