Sleep stage classification is a widely discussed topic, due to its importance in the diagnosis of sleep disorders, e.g. insomnia. Analysis of the brain activity during sleep is necessary to gain further insight into the processing that…
Permutation time irreversibility is an important method to quantify nonequilibrium characteristics of complex systems; however, ordinal pattern is a coarse-graining alternative of temporal structure and cannot accurately represent detailed…
The analysis of electrophysiological recordings of the human brain in resting state is a key experimental technique in neuroscience. Resting state is indeed the default condition to characterize brain dynamics. Its successful implementation…
Characterising brain activity at rest is of paramount importance to our understanding both of general principles of brain functioning and of the way brain dynamics is affected in the presence of neurological or psychiatric pathologies. We…
The extent of intra-individual and inter-individual variability is an important factor in determining the statistical, and hence possibly clinical, significance of observed differences in the EEG. This study investigates the changes in…
Purpose: In sleep medicine, assessing the evolution of a subject's sleep often involves the costly manual scoring of electroencephalographic (EEG) signals. In recent years, a number of Deep Learning approaches have been proposed to automate…
Electroencephalography (EEG) is a method to record the electrical signals in the brain. Recognizing the EEG patterns in the sleeping brain gives insights into the understanding of sleeping disorders. The dataset under consideration contains…
The human electroencephalogram (EEG) of sleep undergoes profound changes with age. These changes can be conceptualized as "brain age", which can be compared to an age norm to reflect the deviation from normal aging process. Here, we develop…
This study investigates the sleep characteristics and brain activity of individuals in the gray zone of insomnia, a population that experiences sleep disturbances yet does not fully meet the clinical criteria for chronic insomnia. Thirteen…
Previous researches revealed the chaotic and nonlinear nature of EEG signal. In this paper we inspected the variability of chaotic indices of the sleep EEG signal such as largest Lyapunov exponent, mutual information, correlation dimension…
