Rué-Queralt et al. present a method for calculating low dimensional manifolds in functional magnetic resonance imaging data and use it across human sleep-wake cycles. Their results indicate that non-REM sleep states occupy distinct areas of this intrinsic manifold and can be used to differentiate stages of sleep and waking.
