Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Subjects sleep multiple nights in their own home, wearing actigraph, PSG (PolySomnoGraphy) and ear-EEG sensors. The object of the study is to determine the applicability of ear-EEG for sleep monitoring.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

4 nights with PSG

For all subjects: 4 nights with polysomnography and ear-EEG

Group Type OTHER

ear-EEG

Intervention Type DEVICE

soft silicone electrode array placed in each ear (outer ear-canal and concha), connected to a battery powered EEG amplifier.

12 nights with ear-EEG

For a subset of the subjects in arm the '4 nights with PSG', a second phase follows in which each subject sleeps 12 nights with only ear-EEG.

If a night's recording is unsuccessful, for whatever reason, up to 6 additional nights may be attempted.

Group Type OTHER

ear-EEG

Intervention Type DEVICE

soft silicone electrode array placed in each ear (outer ear-canal and concha), connected to a battery powered EEG amplifier.
