Trial Outcomes & Findings for Intra Cranial EEG Activity During Dexmedetomidine Sedation (NCT NCT01648959)

NCT ID: NCT01648959

Last Updated: 2022-12-22

Results Overview

iEEG data from each patient was analyzed using MATLAB (Natick, MA, USA). Data were presented as power spectral density, also referred to as the power spectrum or spectrum which quantifies the frequency distribution of energy or power within a signal. The spectrogram is a time-varying version of the spectrum. In these spectrograms, frequencies are arranged along the y-axis, and time along the x-axis, and power is indicated by color on a decibel (dB) scale. The power spectrum was computed for each channel using The Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). A window length of 20,000 data points was chosen in order to incorporate 4 cycles of a 1 Hz signal. The length of each window was therefore 4 seconds. A Hanning window was used to avoid edge effects of the windowing procedure. The length of the FFT was chosen to be 32768, which is the next power of 2 of the window length. The window overlap was set to zero.
