title: A simple electronic and computer system for automatic spindle detection.
abstract: The authors present a new system for the automatic detection of sleep spindles. The electronic and computer analysis are described and a comparison between automatic and visual analysis, performed by two independent readers, was carried out with the aim of evaluating the reliability of the system. Results are discussed and compared with those of different systems already described.
