OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of a social robot intervention on sleep and motor activity in nursing home residents living with dementia and chronic pain.
Following prolonged swimming, cycle between active swimming bouts and inactive quiescent bouts. Swimming is exercise for and here we suggest that inactive bouts are a recovery state akin to fatigue. It is known that cGMP-dependent kinase (PKG) acti...
OBJECTIVE: Sleep quality has a significant impact on human mental and physical health. The detection of sleep-wake states is thus of paramount importance in the study of sleep. The gold standard method for sleep-wake classification is multi-sensor-ba...
Recently, functional network connectivity (FNC) has been extended from static to dynamic analysis to explore the time-varying functional organization of brain networks. Nowadays, a majority of dynamic FNC (dFNC) analysis frameworks identified recurri...
OBJECTIVE: Automatic sleep stage scoring is of great importance for investigating sleep architecture during infancy. In this work, we introduce a novel multichannel approach based on deep learning networks and hidden Markov models (HMM) to improve th...
BACKGROUND: Estimation of sleep parameters by wrist actigraphy is highly dependent on performance of the interpretative algorithm (IA) that converts movement data into sleep/wake scores.

OBJECTIVE: Significant interscorer variability is found in manual scoring of arousals in polysomnographic recordings (PSGs). We propose a fully automatic method, the Multimodal Arousal Detector (MAD), for detecting arousals.
In this work we examine some of the problems associated with the development of machine learning models with the objective to achieve robust generalization capabilities on common-task multiple-database scenarios. Referred to as the "database variabil...
BACKGROUND: Experimental investigation of sleep-wake dynamics in animals is an important part of pharmaceutical development. Typically, it involves recording of electroencephalogram, electromyogram, locomotor activity, and electrooculogram. Visual id...
