A real-time system for pattern recognition of human sleep stages by fuzzy system analysis

Abstract A pattern recognition system for the analysis of human sleep stages using the EEG data is presented. The system is designed by using concepts of the fuzzy system analysis and it is implemented in hardware for real-time applications.

Influence of desglycinamide ((Arg8) vasopressin on memory in healthy subjects

In 12 healthy student volunteers the influence on memory, attention and mood of a single dose of 2 mg of the vasopressin analog, desglycinamide-(arg8) vasopressin (DGAVP), given by the nasal route was investigated. On day 1 all subjects received placebo (single-blind), 1 week later they were given either DGAVP or placebo (double-blind). Memory effects were measured with the Buschke restrictive reminding method. DGAVP significantly improved storage processes, with retrieval processes less affected. Attention and mood processes were not influenced. It is suggested that DGAVP has an influence on memory processes.
