Rapid eye movements (REMs) are recorded separately in the horizontal and vertical plane during 40 emergent Stage 1 EEG periods. 40% of all REMs are recorded exclusively in the horizontal plane; 32%, exclusively in the vertical. But vertical REMs tend to precede horizontal at the onset of Stage 1 and to follow horizontal REMs at the offset. Correlations between Stage 1 period duration and several REM measures all exceeded .95, with the best measures obtained using vertical REMs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
