The same holds for other EEG rhythms: they wax and wane while brain state appears to remain constant. This is con- firmed by physiological models of the rhythm-generating neuronal systems: simula- tions by an electronic version of these models produce realistically looking EEG with waxing and waning (bursting) rhythms while all model parameters, including ‘sleep depth’, are kept constant. These findings strongly suggest that the amplitude of EEG rhythms is not only influenced by the underlying brain state. This is even more so since EEG amplitudes are strongly affected by anatomy (skull size and thickness). Still, sleep depth is commonly quantified using slow-wave amplitude. The physiological models contain a neuronal feedback loop that oscillates slow- wave rhythms. Slow-wave bursting is caused by random external activity because at one time, the random activity accidentally builds up an oscillating rhythm in the loop, while later it can accidentally counteract to it. So, amplitude variations reflect external- noise characteristics rather than sleep depth. The models also show which EEG characteristic is directly related to sleep depth. The neuronal feedback loop accumulates the present slow-wave and inserts it into the upcoming EEG. Physiological sleep depth is reflected by the strength of the feedback loop. Therefore, deeper sleep implies a stronger feedback, causing more of the present slow-wave to be inserted in the next EEG segment. So, sleep depth is directly reflected by the fraction (a %) of the current slow wave which is also seen in the next EEG segment. This % is exactly what our analyzer measures [1]. The analyzer output %, dubbed slow-wave microcontinuity, directly reflects physi- ological sleep depth. Because slow-wave shape is analyzed rather than amplitude, not- sleep-related parameters such as random external activity and skull anatomy have rel- atively little influence. The same is true for artifacts. Microcontinuity analysis duplicates the effects of temazepam and ultradian rhyth- micity as shown by traditional delta (amplitude or power) plots. But these effects are clearly distinguished from the (large) effect of gender on slow wave amplitude: micro- continuity is not affected at all by gender [2]. Microcontinuity shows how temazepam attenuates slow waves while slow-wave sleep and subjective sleep quality remain pos- itively correlated [3]. Thus, slow-wave microcontinuity (shape) more closely reflects physiological sleep depth. 1. Kemp B, Zwinderman AH, Tuk B, Kamphuisen HAC, Oberyé JJL.

However numerous sleep stud- ies have concluded that sleep recordings cannot be limited to these traditional four channel recordings. A greater number of physiological signals and a variety of subjec- tive and objective psychophysiological parameters including mood and cognitive per- formance have to be considered. In the SIESTA-project*, performed by a consortium of 16 clinical and bio-engi- neering centres spread all over Europe, multi-channel sleep recordings from 194 healthy subjects (15 males and 15 females out of each decade, aged 20 to 90 years) and from 98 patients with selected sleep disorders were collected. The standardised recording pro- tocol included 14 days of activity monitoring and sleep diary, two nights of polysom- nography and several psychometric tests to assess vigilance, sleepiness and perfor- mance. In addition to the standard EEG-, EOG- and EMG-channels, various physio- logical parameters including O2-saturation, ECG, excursion of chest and abdomen, nasal airflow as well as limb movements were recorded. All biosignals and standard (Rechtschaffen and Kales) sleep scorings were stored in European Data Format (EDF) and are available on CD-ROM. Based on this database new algorithms (e.g. continuous parameters NonREM-, REM-sleep and wakefulness) were developed to overcome the limitations of visual sleep scoring.
