The brain functions like a computer composed of subsystems which in
teract in a hierarchical manner. But it is not a single hierarchy,
but a com plex system of hierarchies each of which has its very own
and unique fea ture. One of these concerns the cyclic or rhythmic
control of neuronal ac tivities which, among others, give rise to
alternating states of wakefulness and sleep. The phenomenon of
sleep still remains a mystery. The present monograph does not give
us any new insights into its meaning and significance. Yet sleep
research may not be the same after the appearance of this book be
cause it gives us a comprehensive mathematical theory which opens
our eyes to new insights into the mechanism of the rhythm
generation that under lies the "wake-sleep" cycle. No one who has
worked his way through this book can again look at ex perimental
data without recognizing features which the "models" developed in
its various chapters so strikingly reveal."
