Data from University Hospital of Bordeaux Advance Knowledge in Neurophysiology (Sleepiness Should Be Reinvestigated Through the Lens of Clinical Neurophysiology: a Mixed Expertal and Big-data Natural Language Processing Approach).

A recent study conducted at the University Hospital of Bordeaux in France suggests that the field of sleep medicine has shifted away from neurophysiological methods of investigation and towards behavioral and self-reported dimensions. The researchers used natural language processing to analyze over 18,000 articles on sleepiness and found that neurophysiology has declined in favor of these alternative approaches. The study proposes two strategies to reintroduce neurophysiology into sleep medicine: reanalyzing electrophysiological signals collected during standard sleep tests and incorporating clinical neurophysiology into the redefinition of sleepiness. This research has been peer-reviewed and published in Neurophysiologie Clinique. [Extracted from the article]
