💤The 75µV threshold for scoring N3 sleep may not be a one-size-fits-all criterion, as age- and sex-related changes of slow wave amplitude may create bias, suggests a study by @shaun2406.bsky.social & Prof L Tarassenko from @oxengsci.bsky.social, and Prof S Kyle & @ Dr R Sharman from our team.🧵1/3
Is it time to revisit the scoring of Slow Wave (N3) Sleep?
Abstract. The use of a fixed electroencephalogram (EEG) amplitude threshold of 75 µV for labelling slow waves is a subject of ongoing discussion given EEG

Always happy to discuss about the various fascinating facets of sleep💤! This time it was all about the ever-expanding field of wearables⌚️& their potential use in sleep medicine/research. Thanks to the participants for their enthousiasm throughout our 2-day Sleep Measurement masterclass at @ox.ac.uk!
It's a wrap for our Sleep Measurement masterclass! Day 2 included workshops on actigraphy, MSLT/MWT & wearables in sleep med/research, animated by Rachel Sharman, Sofia Pereira & @annabszabo.bsky.social!💤A huge thanks to all participants!

I'm sure this Science story on how systematic reviews are threatened by paper mills is good, but the illustration by Sara Gironi Carnevale is great
