Case comparison of sleep features from ear-EEG and scalp-EEG

چکیده
BACKGROUND We investigate the potential usability of a novel in-the-ear electroencephalography recording device for sleep staging. METHODS In one healthy subject we compare simultaneous earelectroencephalography to standard scalp EEG visually and using power spectrograms. Hypnograms independently derived from the records are compared. RESULTS We find that alpha activity, K complexes, sleep spindles and slow wave sleep can be visually distinguished using earelectroencephalography. Spectral peaks are shared between the two records. Hypnograms are 90.9% similar. CONCLUSION The results indicate that ear-electroencephalography can be used for sleep staging.

Ear-EEG detects ictal and interictal abnormalities in focal and generalized epilepsy – A comparison with scalp EEG monitoring
OBJECTIVE Ear-EEG is recording of electroencephalography from a small device in the ear. This is the first study to compare ictal and interictal abnormalities recorded with ear-EEG and simultaneous scalp-EEG in an epilepsy monitoring unit. METHODS We recorded and compared simultaneous ear-EEG and scalp-EEG from 15 patients with suspected temporal lobe epilepsy. EEGs were compared visually by ...
متن کاملComparison between Scalp EEG and Behind-the-Ear EEG for Development of a Wearable Seizure Detection System for Patients with Focal Epilepsy
A wearable electroencephalogram (EEG) device for continuous monitoring of patients suffering from epilepsy would provide valuable information for the management of the disease. Currently no EEG setup is small and unobtrusive enough to be used in daily life. Recording behind the ear could prove to be a solution to a wearable EEG setup. This article examines the feasibility of recording epileptic...
متن کاملEEG Recorded from the Ear: Characterizing the Ear-EEG Method
Highlights Auditory middle and late latency responses can be recorded reliably from ear-EEG.For sources close to the ear, ear-EEG has the same signal-to-noise-ratio as scalp.Ear-EEG is an excellent match for power spectrum-based analysis. A method for measuring electroencephalograms (EEG) from the outer ear, so-called ear-EEG, has recently been proposed. The method could potentially enable robu...
متن کاملOn the Keyhole Hypothesis: High Mutual Information between Ear and Scalp EEG
We propose and test the keyhole hypothesis-that measurements from low dimensional EEG, such as ear-EEG reflect a broadly distributed set of neural processes. We formulate the keyhole hypothesis in information theoretical terms. The experimental investigation is based on legacy data consisting of 10 subjects exposed to a battery of stimuli, including alpha-attenuation, auditory onset, and mismat...
متن کاملEffect of Acute and Chronic Heat Exposure on Frequency of EEG Components in Different Sleep-Wake State in Young Rats
The recent literatures indicate that central nervous system (CNS) is highly vulnerable to systemic hyperthermia induced by whole body heating on conscious animals. In the present study, cerebral electrical activity or EEG (electroencephalogram) following exposure to high environmental heat has been studied in moving rats. Rats were divided into three group (i) acute heat stress-subjected to a s...
