Magnetoencephalography Demonstrates Multiple Asynchronous Generators During Human Sleep Spindles

Summary
This study uses simultaneous MEG and EEG recordings to demonstrate that human sleep spindles are generated by **multiple asynchronous neural sources** rather than a single widespread, synchronized system. While EEG recordings appear highly coherent across the scalp, the MEG data reveals complex, independent generators that suggest a functional distinction between the **focal core** and **distributed matrix** thalamocortical systems.
