Sleep Scoring Technique

摘要: Publisher Summary This chapter provides an overview of the sleep scoring technique. Continuous recordings electroencephalographic (EEG), electrooculographic (EOG), and electromyographic (EMG) activity are required for modern classification wakefulness, rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, non-REM (NREM) sleep. In 1968, Rechtschaffen Kales published guidelines standardization terminology staging methods in humans. technique has been used since, continues to be standard by which is analyzed. Terminology employ international EEG 10–20 electrode placement system. Based on EEG, chin muscle EMG, movements measured electrodes placed near eyes, different stages features can recognized. NREM refers 1 through 4. Some laboratories utilize term “movement time” refer portions record where (muscle) artifact obscures underlying brain potentials. this technique, recording should a paper speed at least 10 mm/s although 15 30 allows greater analysis waveforms, especially epileptiform activity.
