In an attempt to better coordinate strategic decision-making in response to the global trends of the future, and their impact on the European Union (EU), the European Strategy and Policy Analysis System (ESPAS) was established in 2010.
Hypnopompic hallucinations: Augmenting the terms hypnopompic and hallucinations, we are left with âhypnopompic hallucinationsâ â which can be defined as perceptual experiences with no grounds in reality that occur during the transition between a sleeping state and wakefulness.rain waves: It is thought that brain waves are altered during hypnopompic hallucinations. The brainwave pattern may include a combination of theta waves and/or alpha waves, along with intermittent bursts of beta.
As we make the transition from stage 1 to stage 2 sleep a number of changes occur in the EEG that signal the increasing depth of sleep. Two prominent markers of stage 2 sleep are K complexes and sleep spindles. K complexes are large waves that stand out from the background and often occur in response to environmental stimuli such as sounds in the bedroom. Sleep spindles are brief bursts of fast activity that appear something like the shape of an eye as they rapidly increase in amplitude and then rapidly decay.
