sleep spindles

WAVELET ANALYSIS OF SLEEP SPINDLES ON EEG AND DEVELOPMENT OF METHOD FOR THEIR AUTOMATIC DIAGNOSTIC

The detailed wavelet analysis of sleep electric brain activity, obtained from rats with genetic predisposition to absence-epilepsy, has been performed. Characteristic features of time-and-frequency structure of sleep spindles (oscillatory pattern, that serve as electroencephalographic correlate for slow-wave sleep) have been discovered in long-term electroencephalographic data. Operation has been performed using continuous wavelet transform.
