Before revision:  The simulator was capable of synthesizing artificial signals that could reliably reproduce several features of the SWs observed in vivo  . Comparison of preliminary experimental and simulated data shows the robustness of the analysis tools and its potential to uncover mechanistic insights of the Slow Wave Activity (SWA).
