Synopsis
High density electroencephalography (hdEEG), by the use of multiple recording leads, allows for investigation of the activity of the brain with high spatial and temporal resolution. Potential projects include:
- The use of hdEEG to phenotype patients with sleep disorders, as a potential marker of vulnerability to sleep loss, or a marker of treatment responsiveness.
- Using hdEEG characterise sleep spindle structure, in patients with psychiatric or neurodegenerative disorders.
- Using hdEEG to investigate the effects of pharmacological agents (including hypnotics) on sleep.
