Descripción

Methodological Approaches for Sleep and Vigilance Research examines experimental procedures used to study the sleep-wake cycle, with topics covered by world leaders in the field. The book focuses on techniques commonly used in the sleep field, including polysomnography, electrophysiology, single- and multi-unit spiking activity recording, brain stimulation, EEG power spectra, optogenetics, telemetry, and wearable and non-wearable tracking devices. Further chapters on imaging techniques, questionnaires for sleep assessment, genome-wide association studies, artificial intelligence and big data are also featured. This discussion of significant conceptual advances into experimental procedures is suitable for anyone interested in the neurobiology of sleep. Discusses current sleep research methodologies for experienced scientists Focuses on techniques that allow measurement or assessment for the sleep-wake cycle Outlines mainstream research techniques and experimental characteristics of their uses Includes polysomnography, deep brain stimulation, and more Reviews sleep-tracking devices, EEG and telemetry Covers artificial intelligence and big data in analysis
