ANPHY-Sleep: an Open Sleep Database from Healthy Adults Using High-Density Scalp Electroencephalogram

Abstract

Abstract Well-documented sleep datasets from healthy adults are important for sleep pattern analysis and comparison with a wide range of neuropsychiatric disorders. Currently, available sleep datasets from healthy adults are acquired using low-density arrays with a minimum of four electrodes in a typical sleep montage. The low spatial resolution is thus prohibitive for the analysis of the spatial structure of sleep. Here we introduce an open-access sleep dataset from 29 healthy adults (13 female, aged 32.17 ± 6.30 years) acquired at the Montreal Neurological Institute. The dataset includes overnight polysomnograms with high-density scalp electroencephalograms incorporating 83 electrodes, electrocardiogram, electromyogram, electrooculogram, and an average of electrode positions using manual co-registrations and sleep scoring annotations. Data characteristics and group-level analysis of sleep properties were assessed. The database can be accessed through ( https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/R26FH ). This is the first high-density electroencephalogram open sleep database from healthy adults, allowing researchers to investigate sleep physiology at high spatial resolution. We expect that this database will serve as a valuable resource for studying sleep physiology and for benchmarking sleep pathology.
