In deep, slow - wave sleep, recordings of the brain's electrical activity show sparse bursts of big, slow waves.

In addition, during sleep the brain - wave patterns of dogs are similar to people's, and they exhibit the same stages of electrical activity that are observed in humans — all of which is consistent with the idea that dogs are dreaming.

Previous studies have shown that when a typically developing 20 - month - old child hears a word that she doesn't know, a characteristic uptick in brain waves in the left hemisphere of the brain can be detected through electroencephalography (EEG), a noninvasive method of measuring the brain's electrical activity.
