title: Real-time monitoring of slow-wave sleep by electroencephalogram variance.
abstract: Based on statistical variance as an index of electroencephalogram (EEG) parameters, we monitored slow-wave sleep in both humans and rats in real time and on-line with a widely used personal computer. This EEG variance method may be a useful tool to carry out biological rhythm research, including sleep studies.
