Power Spectra in N2 Sleep in the Patient and Control Participants

(A) EEG power from 0.6–20 Hz for N2 sleep in patients (green line) and controls (purple line). This graph is based on the central EEG electrode C4. We used a data-driven bootstrapping approach to assess group differences in EEG power density spectra. Bootstrapped tests showed that the patients had reduced power in N2 delta activity compared to controls, from 2.0 to 3.2 Hz; p < 0.05 (indicated by gray shading on the graph).

(B) Topographical head plots of EEG-quantified differences between patients and controls in slow-wave activity (SWA) (2–3.2 Hz) for C4. Cooler colors represent lower values. SWA is represented for patients in the left panel and for controls in the middle panel. The relative difference between the two groups (on the right) shows that the patients had decreased SWA (darker blue) compared to the control participants.
