Abstract
The present invention relates to a method of analyzing a subject for excessive daytime sleepiness, and more particularly to a quick (short duration), quantitative method of sleep disorder analysis. The present invention additionally relates to a method that can be used to quantitatively measure the treatment endpoints for the subject, i.e., appropriate levels of stimulants. Additionally, the present invention relates to a device for sleep disorder analysis.
Claims20
A system for analyzing sleep disorders of a subject comprising:
- at least one brain wave sensor that measures brain wave signals;
- a component for delivering a stimulus to a subject;
- a component for measuring a response by the subject to the delivered stimulus;
- and
- a processor or computer that analyzes the measured brain wave signals in relation to the stimulus to and the measured response from the subject, and determines whether the subject suffers from a sleeping disorder based on the analysis of the measured brain wave signals in relation to the stimulus to and the measured response from the subject.
A system for analyzing sleep disorders of a subject comprising:
- at least two brain wave sensors that measures brain wave signals;
- a component for delivering at least different types of stimuli to a subject;
- a component for subject to receive the delivered stimuli;
- a component for measuring a response by the subject to the delivered stimuli;
- and
- a processor or computer that analyzes the measured brain wave signals in relation to the stimuli to and response from the subject, and determines whether the subject suffers from a sleeping disorder based on the analysis of the measured brain wave signals in relation to the stimuli to and response from the subject.
A system for analyzing sleep disorders of a subject comprising:
- at least one brain wave sensor that measures brain wave signals;
- a component for delivering a non-continuous stimulus to a subject for at least 10 minutes;
- a component for measuring, at least at 200 Hz, a response by the subject to the delivered stimuli;
- and
- a processor or computer that analyzes the measured brain wave signals in relation to the stimuli to and the measured response from the subject, and determines whether the subject suffers from a sleeping disorder based on the analysis of the measured brain wave signals in relation to the stimuli to and the measured response from the subject.
