Daytime short nap involves physiological processes, such as alertness, drowsiness and sleep. The study of the relationship between drowsiness and nap based on physiological signals is a great way to have a better understanding of the periodical rhyme...
BACKGROUND: Snoring has been shown to be associated with adverse physical and mental health, independent of the effects of sleep disordered breathing. Despite increasing evidence for the risks of snoring, few studies on sleep and health include objec...
BACKGROUND: Rapid eye movements (REMs) are a defining feature of REM sleep. The number of discrete REMs over time, or REM density, has been investigated as a marker of clinical psychopathology and memory consolidation. However, human detection of REM...
OBJECTIVE/BACKGROUND: Children with Down syndrome (DS) have a high rate of pulmonary hypertension and sleepiness. They also have a high prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). We hypothesized that OSAS was associated with cardiovascula...
BACKGROUND: Electroencephalography (EEG) based sleep staging is commonly used in clinical routine. Feature extraction and representation plays a crucial role in EEG-based automatic classification of sleep stages. Sparse representation (SR) is a state...
BACKGROUND: Recently, artificial neural networks (ANNs) have been widely applied in science, engineering, and medicine. In the present study, we evaluated the ability of artificial neural networks to be used as a computer program and assistant tool i...
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS: To quantitatively measure volumetric changes in upper airway soft tissue structures using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) pre- and post transoral robotic surgery for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA-TORS).
