Question

If the EEG record reveals evidence of very small and very fast waves in a person that otherwise appears to be asleep, and other data indicates the person’s eyes are moving back and forth but the rest of the body is still, you are likely to conclude that the sleeping person is in ________.

Answer 1

Answer: You conclude that the sleeping person is in REM.

Step-by-step explanation:

REM (rapid eye movement) is the last stage of the sleeping cycle. It happens after about 90 min approximately from the beginning of the first sleeping stage.

Characteristics of REM: muscle tone has no existence, that’s the reason why we cannot scream in a dream; the predominant brain waves are theta; blood pressure and heat frequency increase; eye movement also increases while in the other hand muscles are paralyzed.

In this stage is when we dream and if we were woken up we would remember it.
