Abstract
EEG activity of 10.5 to 15.0 c/sec and eye movement activity during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep were quantified in six normal 6 to 8-month-old babies. The values in the babies were compared to perviously reported values for normal and autistic children. The amount of 10.5 to 15.0 c/sec activity was significantly greater in the babies than in the normal children but was similar to that of the autistic children. The mean duration of eye movement bursts was significantly shorter in the babies than in the normal children but was similar to that in the autistic children. The mean duration of eye movement bursts in the babies increased linearly with successive REM sleep periods.
