The whole night MEG data were recorded at the lab. for Human Brain Dynamics (1998 - 2009) at BSI, RIKEN, Japan and analyzed at BSI and at the Lab. for Human Brain Dynamics (2008 - now) at AAI Scientific Cultural Services in Nicosia Cyprus (AAISCS). Partial support for recent work from grants SmokeFreeBrain under Horizon 2020 of the EU (grant No. 681120) and the project TopSleep of AAISCS, submitted to the Cyprus Ministry of Energy, Commerce Industry and Tourism (currently under evaluation).
