What is it about?
With an adapted algorithm it is possible to improve the sleep spindle detection in sleep recordings performed in a sleep center. The sleep EEG needs to be recorded and then analyzed using the new methodology described.

Why is it important?
Sleep spindles are important for light sleep, sleep stage 2. There had been some publications relating sleep spindle density with sleeping drugs, with electromagnetic interference, and with intelligence.
Perspectives
We plan to apply this technique to many sleep recordings and want to see the clinical relevance of sleep density measures.
