Transitions in the dynamics of complex systems can be characterized by changes in the synchronization behavior of their components. Taking the human cardio-respiratory system as an example and using an automated procedure for screening the…
Ambient temperatures are rising globally, with the greatest increases recorded at night. Concurrently, the prevalence of insufficient sleep is increasing in many populations, with substantial costs to human health and well-being. Even…
Sleep stage classification is a common method used by experts to monitor the quantity and quality of sleep in humans, but it is a time-consuming and labour-intensive task with high inter- and intra-observer variability. Using Wavelets for…
The quality of sleep has a deep impact on people's physical and mental health. People with insufficient sleep are more likely to report physical and mental distress, activity limitation, anxiety, and pain. Moreover, in the past few years,…
Sleep disorder is one of many neurological diseases that can affect greatly the quality of daily life. It is very burdensome to manually classify the sleep stages to detect sleep disorders. Therefore, the automatic sleep stage…
In office spaces, the ratio of energy consumption of air conditioning and lighting for maintaining the environment comfort is about 70%. On the other hand, many people claim being dissatisfied with the temperature of the air conditioning.…
Good quality sleep is essential for good health and sleep monitoring becomes a vital research topic. This paper provides a low cost, continuous and contactless WiFi-based vital signs (breathing and heart rate) monitoring method. In…
In healthy sleepers, cortical alpha oscillations are present during the transition from wakefulness to sleep, and dissipate at sleep onset. For individuals with insomnia, alpha power is elevated during the wake-sleep transition and can…
Thermal comfort is a personal assessment of one's satisfaction with the surroundings. Yet, most thermal comfort delivery mechanisms preclude physiological and psychological precursors to thermal comfort. Accordingly, many people feel either…
Patients with sleep disorders can better manage their lifestyle if they know about their special situations. Detection of such sleep disorders is usually possible by analyzing a number of vital signals that have been collected from the…
Light sleep is a sleeping period which occurs within each hour during the sleep. This is the period when people are closest to awakening. With this being the case people tend to move more frequently and aggressively during these periods.…
Thermal comfort is an assessment of one's satisfaction with the surroundings; yet, most mechanisms that are used to provide thermal comfort are based on approaches that preclude physiological, psychological, and personal psychophysics that…
A biophysical model of arousal dynamics is used to study mechanisms of synchronisation and loss of synchrony among the three key oscillators controlling sleep-wake cycles: the circadian, homeostatic, and light oscillators. Synchronisation…
Sleep is critical to leading a healthy lifestyle. Each day, most people go to sleep without any idea about how their night's rest is going to be. For an activity that humans spend around a third of their life doing, there is a surprising…
Poor indoor air quality can contribute to the development of various chronic respiratory diseases such as asthma, heart disease, and lung cancer. Since air quality is extremely difficult for humans to detect though sensory processing, there…
In this paper, we propose a novel method and a practical approach to predicting early onsets of sleep syndromes, including restless leg syndrome, insomnia, based on an algorithm that is comprised of two modules. A Fast Fourier Transform is…
Sleep is among the most important factors affecting one's daily performance, well-being, and life quality. Nevertheless, it became possible to measure it in daily life in an unobtrusive manner with wearable devices. Rather than camera…
Sleep is particularly important to the health of infants, children, and adolescents, and sleep scoring is the first step to accurate diagnosis and treatment of potentially life-threatening conditions. But pediatric sleep is severely…
Recent experimental and theoretical studies show that energy efficiency, which measures the amount of information processed by a neuron with per unit of energy consumption, plays an important role in the evolution of neural systems. Here,…
Recently, growing health awareness, novel methods allow individuals to monitor sleep at home. Utilizing sleep sounds offers advantages over conventional methods like smartwatches, being non-intrusive, and capable of detecting various…
