Book Description
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
