Figure 1 Mean (with SEM) percentage of time and number of episodes spent (a,b) in left/right monocular sleep or (c,d) in binocular sleep in chicks coming from eggs incubated in the light or in the dark. Significant departures from the chance level (0%), which indicated significant bias towards left- or right-eye closure during monocular sleep, were estimated by one-sample two-tailed t-tests (indicated by asterisks in [a] and [b]) Current Biology , DOI: ( /S (01) )
