Electroencephalography (EEG)-based brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), particularly those
using motor-imagery (MI) data, have the potential to become groundbreaking technologies …

Autonomic cardiovascular control changes across sleep stages. Thus, blood pressure (BP),
heart rate and peripheral vascular resistance progressively decrease in non-rapid eye …

Objective: Driver drowsiness detection is a key technology that can prevent fatal car
accidents caused by drowsy driving. The present work proposes a driver drowsiness …

Sleep is characterized by coordinated cortical and cardiac oscillations reflecting
communication between the central (CNS) and autonomic (ANS) nervous systems. Here, we …

The normalized spectral heart rate variability (HRV) measures low-frequency (LF) nu and
high-frequency (HF) nu are frequently used in contemporary sleep research studies to …

Abstract Study Objectives: To compare the accuracy of automatic sleep staging based on
heart rate variability measured from photoplethysmography (PPG) combined with body …

The vast net of fibres within and underneath the cortex is optimised to support the
convergence of different levels of brain organisation. Here, we propose a novel coordinate …

Manual scoring of sleep stages from polysomnography (PSG) records is essential to
understand the sleep quality and architecture. Since the PSG requires specialized …

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a heterogeneous and multifactorial sleep related breathing
disorder with high prevalence, is a recognized risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and …

Arousal plays a central role in a wide variety of phenomena, including wakefulness,
autonomic function, affect and emotion. Despite its importance, it remains unclear as to how …
