Introduction:

Cognitive processing during sleep has been revealed to rely on the precisely synchronized interactions of rhythmic oscillation of neural activities. Current practice, however, significantly limits our ability to explore the continuously evolving neurophysiological dynamics by the low-resolution framework, which discretizes the neural states during sleep only into 5 categories with a temporal constraint of a non-overlapping 30-sec epoch. Recent studies have shown that the slow oscillation (SO) power can be used as a continuous correlate of depth of sleep. In this study, we aim to represent the personal intrinsic neural dynamic patterns during sleep by high-resolution phenotype mapping, which is independent of the temporal evolution of sleep architecture or night-to-night variability.

Methods:

We analyzed 80 polysomnography (PSG) data previously recorded from 20 middle-aged female subjects (mean age of 56.45 ± 3.97 years) for unrelated research, approved by the IRB of Ewha Womans University Mokdong Hospital and was registered with the Clinical Research Information Service (CRIS; study number KCT0001867). For all subjects, four PSGs at one-month intervals were recorded at the hospital sleep laboratory. We analyzed each night's EEG signal from the C3-A1 electrode derivation, and the data segment was from the time of lights out to the time of lights on.
SO-power was computed as the total power in the artifact-free EEG multitaper spectrogram between .5 – 2.0 Hz within a 60s window with 5s step (TW=30, L=29). Then, mean spectral power from .5-30 Hz was computed as a function of SO-power to obtain the state-based histogram. For dimensionality reduction, a low-resolution (60 x 41) representation of the SO-power histogram was created for each PSG recording.
To evaluate the intra-subject stability of the suggested framework, the similarity of the four SO-power histogram matrices from each participant was determined through mean square error (MSE) and Euclidian distance, which measures the average squared differences.

Results:

The average length (time-in-bed) of our PSG recordings was 309.34 ± 46.41 minutes, and the sleep efficiency was 78.73 ± 10.85%. According to the standard guidelines of the AASM, 84.19 ± 6.94% was NREM sleep, of which the slow wave sleep was 4.85 ± 4.92%.
Despite night-to-night variability in sleep architecture evolution over time within each subject, the repeatedly calculated SO-power histograms from one's own four PSG recordings exhibited marked similar patterns, showing consistency in the neural dynamics of each individual. Moreover, we also confirmed the heterogeneity of the SO-power histogram between subjects. The MSE between the first night PSG recording and the other three PSG recordings obtained from the same subject was lower than the MSE between different subjects.

Conclusions:

In this study, we build on previous work (Kim et. al, Stokes et. al) and compute a SO-power histogram, which visualizes the median spectral power as a function of frequency and SO-power. In this work, we extend previous findings of night-to-night stability to show clear month-to-month stability. This allows us to observe how non-stationary oscillatory dynamics of the brain during sleep can comprehensively and quantitatively be represented using continuous-valued correlates of sleep depth without being affected by different temporal sleep evolution patterns.
By choosing a high-dimensional, low-variability representation of sleep EEG data, we can create a high-resolution phenotype mapping framework that is more sensitive to changes in nneural dynamic states, and thus a powerful tool for assessing potential changes in neurological health.
