In order to provide the richest diversity of innovative thinking and data types, leading sleep researchers were invited to participate in our adaptive software development initiative. They have agreed to provide guidance and algorithms which may possibly be unique to their own research thrust, but which are increasingly being considered for use as clinical sleep analysis data types in future years. Although the collaborators have attained research success in many areas, we were most interested in their work establishing leading-edge sleep indicators. Among their many other accomplishments, Dr. Scott Campbell's Laboratory of Human Chronobiology has demonstrated circadian core body temperature trending with sleep stage. Dr. Michael Chase has established that occipital EEG PGO (Ponto-geniculate-occipital) spikes precede muscle atonia during REM sleep. Dr. J. Christopher Gillin and his colleague Erich Feifritz at the University of Basel have established correlates between sleep state and drugs affecting the serotinergic system. Dr. Sudhansu Chokroverty is a world-recognized expert in the interpretation and analysis of abnormal EEG patterns, especially including epileptiform activity.
