AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
The Australian EEG Database is a web-based de-identified searchable database of 18,500 EEG records recorded at a regional public hospital over an 11-year period. Patients range in age from a premature infant born at 24 weeks gestation, through to people aged over 90 years. This paper will describe the history of the database, the range of patients represented in the database, and the nature of the text-based and digital data contained in the database. Preliminary results of the first two studies undertaken using the database are presented. Plans for sharing data from the Australian EEG database with researchers are discussed. We anticipate that such data will be useful in not only helping to answer clinical questions but also in the field of mathematical modeling of the EEG.

Comparative analysis of sleep physiology using qualitative and quantitative criteria for insomnia symptoms.

Despite decades of research, defining insomnia remains challenging due to its complex and variable nature. Various diagnostic systems emphasize the chronic nature of insomnia and its impact on daily functioning, relying heavily on patient self-reporting due to limitations in objective measures like polysomnography (PSG). Discrepancies between subjective experiences and objective PSG results highlight the need for more nuanced approaches, such as electroencephalogram (EEG) spectral analysis, which reveals distinct patterns of high-frequency activity in individuals with insomnia.

Background: Administration of conventional anaesthetic agents is associated with changes in electroencephalogram (EEG) oscillatory dynamics, including a reduction in the peak alpha frequency. Computational models of neurones can reproduce such phenomena and are valuable tools for investigating their underlying mechanisms. We hypothesised that EEG data acquired during xenon anaesthesia in humans would show similar changes in peak alpha frequency and that computational neuronal models of recognised cellular actions of xenon would be consistent with the observed changes.

Secondary motor cortical regions, such as the supplementary motor area (SMA) are involved in planning and learning motor sequences, however the neurophysiological mechanisms across these secondary cortical networks remain poorly understood. In primary motor cortex, changes in excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmission (E:I balance) accompany motor sequence learning. In particular, there is an early reduction in inhibition (i.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how changes in sleep posture relate to waking up and arousal, particularly examining if alarms that prevent sleeping on the back (supine) affect how long it takes to return to sleep.
- Researchers collected sleep data from 37 participants using a device that tracks posture and sleep while testing the effectiveness of a supine-avoidance alarm in reducing back-sleeping during the night.
- Findings showed that most posture changes occurred after waking or being briefly aroused, and while the alarm reduced time spent sleeping on the back, it didn’t significantly delay the ability to fall back asleep.
