System performance is demonstrated by physiological measurements (simultaneous ECG, EEG and/or respiration signals) made on chickens during stunning in a commercial controlled atmosphere system.
The EEG, ECG, respiration registered by a nasal thermistor, chest movements, eye movements and EMGs from the submandibular and thoracic muscles were recorded.
The automatic artefact rejection of the CATEEM®-System, which eradicates EEG-alterations caused by eye blinks, swallows, respiration etc. during the recording was visually controlled and individually adjusted by the investigator.
To assess the similarities of other physiological processes know to co-vary with sleep states we evaluated eye movements via electrooculography (EOG), muscle tone via electromyography (EMG), heart rate via electrocardiography (EKG) and respiration rate [6], [18] [21] during EEG state alternations under urethane anaesthesia.
For example, Cheyne Stokes respiration, Parkinsonian gait, loss of EEG variability, preterminal cardiac oscillations, neutrophil count in chronic myelogenous leukaemia and fever in Hodgkin's disease all exhibit periodic, more regular variation in the dynamics of disease states [ 142].
In the present study, we aimed at developing a guinea pig model to investigate the benefits of immediate and delayed stand-alone therapy on the development of clinical signs, EEG, heart rate, respiration and AChE activity in blood and brain after soman poisoning.
Leupoldt A et al.[14] observed the emotion influence on respiration sensation, skin conductance response and EEG.
Patients underwent a single night of polysomnography (all-night recording of EEG, electromyography, electrooculography, ECG and respiration) that was hand-scored by a researcher blind to diagnosis and patient history.
We recorded 32-channel EEG, electro-oculogram (EOG), ECG, respiration, and movement from 12 experienced (mean=13.3 years of practice) Zen Buddhist meditators and 12 non-meditator controls under two conditions for each group: listening to an audiotape and either loving-kindness meditation (meditators) or sitting quietly (non-meditators).
It measured the EEG of children meditating (in the special brain respiration way), and found that meditating kids had EEG findings characteristic of meditation, when compared with a bunch of kids just sitting "relaxing" with some electrodes on their heads, presumably baffled, certainly not meditating, and therefore producing EEG recordings characteristic of kids sitting around in a room.
