Abstract

RBD stands for Rapid Eye Movement Disorder and is a sleep disorder that happens during your REM (Rapid Eye Movement) stage of sleep. People often associate the cause of RBD with dreams because people dream during the REM stage of sleep, which is also when RBD tends to happen as well. It may affect a small fraction of the general population, but that is still a fairly large amount of people in the world who suffer from RBD. Previous research by Michel Jouvet proved that RBD in cats were caused by brain lesions, and two scientists discovered that brain lesions can suppress negative emotions. From these two discoveries I have decided to research whether or not RBD can be categorized as something to do with psychological behaviour or neurological behaviour. I have modeled two experiments and several possibilities that one may receive in which I will have a certain reasoning for each.
