In an attempt to better coordinate strategic decision-making in response to the global trends of the future, and their impact on the European Union (EU), the European Strategy and Policy Analysis System (ESPAS) was established in 2010.
Hypnopompic hallucinations: Augmenting the terms hypnopompic and hallucinations, we are left with âhypnopompic hallucinationsâ â which can be defined as perceptual experiences with no grounds in reality that occur during the transition between a sleeping state and wakefulness.rain waves: It is thought that brain waves are altered during hypnopompic hallucinations. The brainwave pattern may include a combination of theta waves and/or alpha waves, along with intermittent bursts of beta.
The right and left hemispheres of the brain are more coherent in REM sleep, especially during lucid dreams. REM sleep is punctuated and immediately preceded by PGO (ponto-geniculo-occipital waves) waves, bursts of electrical activity originating in the brain stem. These waves occur in clusters about every 6 seconds for 1â2 minutes during the transition from deep to paradoxical sleep. They exhibit their highest amplitude upon moving into the visual cortex and are a cause of the rapid eye movements in paradoxical sleep.
