Microsleep-related behaviors observed in two cases undergoing maintenance of wakefulness tests with detailed whole-body video monitoring
摘要
Purpose
To clarify the relationship between electroencephalograms (EEGs) and video-identified behavioral signs of microsleep.
MethodsEEGs during each behavior were evaluated using two maintenance of wakefulness test (MWT) cases with whole-body video monitoring.
ResultsIn MWTs, 30.3% and 60.5% of the behavioral signs of microsleep corresponded to alpha waves and microsleep, respectively. We demonstrated that EEG frequency decelerated during behavioral signs of microsleep compared to that while awake. Slow eye movements on the electrooculogram preceded or coincided with behavioral signs of microsleep corresponding to EEG microsleep.
ConclusionsEEG frequency deceleration could be inferred from behavioral assessments based on whole-body video monitoring.
