Abstract
Habituation to evoked responses is obvious in waking but still controv ersial in sleep. Single-response analysis proves short-term habituatio n of auditory evoked potentials in stage 2 NREM sleep. The data are di scussed referring to the two-system hypothesis of sensory processing i n sleep and to DC instability and sleep maintenance mechanisms in stag e 2 NREM. It is suggested that information processing might continue i n sleep.
