Clustering of Co-detection Matrices for Sleep Slow Oscillations on the EEG Manifold
While we sleep, brain activity can be seen with the electro-encephalogram (EEG). Specific waves during the sleep EEG (‘sleep oscillations’) have been linked to our memory, rest after a night of sleep and mood. In our research, we have discovered that the coordination of these waves across the brain can be an indicator of the overall quality of a night of sleep. Thus, we have built software that can look at the sleep oscillations in the EEG and extract values that show how well coordinated they are. We share this software as a tool for scientific research laboratories that can use it to establish the coordination of sleep oscillations in their data.
