CONFERENCE PAPER: hdEEG Inverse Source Localisation as a Tool for Studying NREM Parasomnia

A new article powered by our student Natalie Svatkova has been published.

The mechanism of brain behavior outside the parasomnia episode of NREM parasomnia (a sleep disorder) is not fully known. In this study, we examined a group of parasomnia individuals and healthy controls after sleep deprivation. We acquired a dataset containing a simultaneous recording of EEG and fMRI, as well as EEG-only data outside the MR scanner. We used inverse source modeling on the EEG-only data and compared the capability of the method to expose differences between patients and controls with EEG-fMRI data and literature. The results show that the highest difference is in the slow-wave activity of the delta waves, mainly in the occipital region. Even outside the parasomnia episode, differences in fluctuating sleep between patients and controls can be observed.
