Coupling and dynamics of cortical and autonomic signals are linked to central inhibition during the wake-sleep transition.

In line with Hypothesis 1 (H1), we found correlations between C max (the maximal cross-correlation of cortical and autonomic signals), T max (the individual delay) and V-derived fluctuation periods (p = 0.003) whereas the correlation between either C max or T max and HR-derived periods just failed to reach significance (C max : p = 0.051, T max : p = 0.069).
