What can we learn from eye movements distribution during sleep?

In the article, "Novel method for evaluation of eye movements in patients with narcolepsy" published in the current Sleep Medicine volume [1], the Danish group lead by Professor Jennum developed an automatic method to identify periods of eye movements (EMs) in sleep from the electro-oculographic signals conventionally recorded during nocturnal polysomnography. The authors addressed the EMs distribution in the different sleep stages, as well as across nocturnal sleep cycles in patients with narcolepsy and controls.
