I  wonder  whether  there  is  any info (papers, grey literature,
anecdotal data, etc.) on the following issue:

(i)   Divers  getting  into  either:  (a)  hypnothic  state,  (b)
pseudo-asleep or (c) asleep while doing long decos.

The question is the following: do we (humans) have any capability
(or   pseudo-not-fully-developed-capability)   to   switch   from
sleeping  with  both  brain hemispheres to one at a time (such as
dolphins and other marine mamals do) if we are in the water ?

Are  there any studies of brain activity during long decos ? This
could  well be answered by electroencephalograms while doing long
decos when divers are very tired.

What does the WKPP medical doctor say ?

A very interesting topic, indeed.

cheers,
