System and method for determining loss of need for sleep without monitoring brain activity during sleep

摘要

The present disclosure relates to a system configured to determine loss of need for sleep without monitoring brain activity during sleep. The system includes a sensory stimulator configured to provide repetitive visual stimulation (RVS), a sensor configured to generate an output signal that carries information related to brain activity, and one or more hardware And one or more hardware processors, prior to sleep, causing the one or more sensory stimulators to provide a first RVS, and based on the output signal in the first RVS, the first steady state vision An evoked potential (SSVEP) response is determined, and after sleep, (iii) one or more sensory stimulators provide a second RVS, and (iv) a second SSVEP response based on the output signal during the second RVS And (v) compare the second SSVEP response with the first SSVEP response, and (vi) determine loss of sleep need for sleep based on the comparison.
