SleepWave--General Features
Recording
Simultaneous recording from up to 16 channels at up to 16kHz/channel (16-channel version)
Simultaneous recording from up to 1-8 animals with separate file names (16-channel version)
Simultaneous recording from up to 64 channels at up to 4kHz/channel (64-channel version)
Simultaneous recording from up to 1-16 animals with separate file names (64-channel version)
Sample different channels at different rates
Different starting mode: synchronized, cascade, instant or no-timing
Viewing all recording at the same time at 2-60 second length
Hold waveforms and data of particular segment while continue record
Save any segment (2-60 second) of waveform or data during recording
Perform online FFT on selected channels
For version with video inputs:
4 video inputs with each can be associated with any animal
It is possible to get 8 video inputs with low frame rates
Frame rates: 1-30 frames/s (depending on the speed of computer and number of video inputs)
Data compression on the fly (depending the availability of video compressors installed)
Score
Fast visual score (experienced user may score 24 recording in less than 30 minutes)
Viewing both expanded and compressed waveforms simultaneously
Perform offline FFT and view FFT at the same time during scoring
Viewing recorded video at the same time during scoring (for the version with video)
Flexible scoring segment (5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20 and 30 segment length)
Viewing and saving any segment of waveforms or data separately
Navigating through data easily with scrolling bars.
Data analyses
ECG Analyses
Automatic detection of peaks of P, R and T waves
Automatic calculation of PR intervals, RR intervals and heart rate in any scoring segment
Sleep Summary
Flexible time block size: minutes to 24 hour
Amounts, number of episodes and duration of episodes for wake, NREM sleep and REM sleep
Automatic generation of average and standard errors for groups of animals
Automatic generation of list of data in each individual animal for statistical analyses
Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) Summary
Flexible time block size (minutes to hours)
Flexible frequency band size
Automatic sorting of FFT data during wake, NREM sleep and REM sleep
Automatic normalization of FFT data (normalization according to baseline)
Automatic calculation of relative power of each frequency band in total power
Automatic generating group average and standard errors
Automatic generation of list of data in each individual animal for statistical analyses
