We present in this paper the results of a study of the interdependence between signal characteristic of the central nervous system (electroencephalography) and the autonomic nervous system (heart rate and respiration) in human neonates during sleep. By using methods from nonlinear dynamical systems theory, we show that there exist significant differences in this interdependence with the sleep stage and the electrodes considered. This paves the way for the application of this methodology in clinical practice to study pathologies where this interdependence is altered, such as the sudden infant death syndrome.
我们在本文中展示了一项关于人类新生儿睡眠期间中枢神经系统(脑电图)信号特征与自主神经系统(心率和呼吸)之间相互依存关系的研究结果。通过使用非线性动力系统理论的方法,我们表明这种相互依存关系在睡眠阶段和所考虑的电极方面存在显著差异。这为该方法在临床实践中的应用铺平了道路,以研究这种相互依存关系发生改变的病症,如婴儿猝死综合征。
