Sleep quality and oxygen saturation were associated with pain intensity only in COMISA, indicating that sleep ...

A perspective on automated rapid eye movement sleep assessment
Summary Rapid eye movement sleep is associated with distinct changes in various biomedical signals that can be easily captured during sleep, lending themselves to automated sleep staging using machine learning systems. Here, we provide a perspective on the critical characteristics of biomedical signals associated with rapid eye movement sleep and how ...
