Article Synopsis
  • The study explores how movements during REM sleep behavior disorder impact cortical activity in patients with and without Parkinson's disease.
  • It involved analyzing sleep data from 15 patients, focusing on brain activity patterns associated with movements that occur during REM sleep.
  • Findings indicate that the changes in brain wave patterns during these movements are similar across both groups, suggesting that the cortex plays a key role in controlling these movements during REM sleep.

Objective: High-density (HD) electroencephalography (EEG) is increasingly used in presurgical epilepsy evaluation, but it is demanding in time and resources. To overcome these issues, we compared EEG source imaging (ESI) solutions with a targeted density and HD-EEG montage.

Methods: HD-EEGs from patients undergoing presurgical evaluation were analyzed.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common sleep disorder characterized by repetitive upper airway obstruction, intermittent hypoxemia, and recurrent awakenings during sleep. The most used treatment for this syndrome is a device that generates a positive airway pressure—Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP), but it works continuously, whether or not there is apnea. An alternative consists on systems that detect apnea episodes and produce a stimulus that eliminates them.

Background And Objective: Despite advances on signal analysis and artificial intelligence, visual inspection is the gold standard in event detection on electroencephalographic recordings. This process requires much time of clinical experts on both annotating and training new experts for this same task. In scenarios where epilepsy is considered, the need for automatic tools is more prominent, as both seizures and interictal events can occur on hours- or days-long recordings.
