Figure Lengend Snippet: a , Group-level distribution of 1/f slope across polysomnographic stages, averaged across all k = 60 EEG channels and irrespective of respiration phase. Tukey-Kramer-corrected significance is shown relative to wakefulness; full statistical results are provided in the main text. b , Group-level distribution of respiratory rates across stages. Across all pairwise comparisons, only the difference between N1 and SWS was significant ( p = .041, Tukey-Kramer-corrected). c , Polar representation of group-level mean 1/f slope ± SEM across respiration phase per polysomnographic stage, averaged across all k = 60 channels. Coloured dashed lines indicate mean directions of the respective circular distributions. FDR-corrected significance is shown relative to wakefulness; full statistics on differences in mean direction are provided in the main text. d , Polar histograms show the circular distribution of mean directions in 1/f slope across the n = 23 participants per stage. Polar plots show individual courses of aperiodic activity over respiration phase. FDR-corrected tests against circular uniformity were highly significant for all polysomnographic stages. Statistical results are provided in the main text. e , Polar histograms show the circular distribution of group-level mean directions in 1/f slope across the k = 60 electrodes per stage. Polar plots show electrode-specific courses of aperiodic activity over respiration phase. FDR-corrected tests against circular uniformity were highly significant for all sleep stages. Statistical results are provided in the main text. f , Detailed visualisation of topographic consistency in group-level average 1/f slope across all electrodes, sorted from anterior to posterior location.
