A bewildering variety of methods for analysing sleep EEG signals can be found in the
literature. This article provides an overview of these methods and offers guidelines for …

Sleep spindle is a peculiar oscillatory brain pattern which has been associated with a
number of sleep (isolation from exteroceptive stimuli, memory consolidation) and individual …

Background: Dexmedetomidine, a selective α2‐adrenoceptor agonist, induces a unique,
sleep‐like state of sedation. The objective of the present work was to study human …

Evidence supports the robustness and stability of individual differences in non-rapid eye
movement (NREM) sleep electroencephalogram (EEG) spectra with a special emphasis on …

Mounting evidence for the role of sleep spindles in neuroplasticity has led to an increased
interest in these non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep oscillations. It has been …

A spindle detection method was developed that:(1) extracts the signal of interest (ie, spindle-
related phasic changes in sigma) relative to ongoing “background” sigma activity using …

Manual scoring of sleep spindles can be very time-consuming, and achieving accurate
manual scoring on a long-term recording requires high and sustained levels of vigilance …

Objective: Sleep spindle features show developmental changes during infancy and have the
potential to provide an early biomarker for abnormal brain maturation. Manual identification …

Objective. EEG spindles, narrow-band oscillatory signal bursts, are widely-studied
biomarkers of subject state and neurological function. Most existing methods for spindle …

In recent years, spindle-shaped electrical activity became interesting for researchers looking
for new methods of time-frequency analysis of electromyograms (EMG) and acceleration …
