Investigating how sleep apnea affects attention using brain imaging
Sustained Attention Neuroimaging in Sleep Apnea
['FUNDING_OTHER'] · ICAHN SCHOOL OF MEDICINE AT MOUNT SINAI · NIH-11013906
This study is looking at how obstructive sleep apnea affects your ability to stay focused during the day, and it will use brain scans to help find ways to identify daytime sleepiness in people with this condition.

What this research studies
This research focuses on understanding the impact of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) on sustained attention through advanced neuroimaging techniques. It aims to develop quantitative biomarkers that can help identify daytime sleepiness in patients with OSA. The project combines expertise in sleep physiology, neurobiology, and imaging to explore the relationship between sleep disorders and cognitive function. Patients may be involved in assessments that utilize brain imaging to better understand their sleep-related challenges.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are individuals diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea who experience daytime sleepiness.
Not a fit: Patients without a diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea or those who do not experience daytime sleepiness may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved diagnostic tools and treatment strategies for individuals suffering from sleep apnea and related cognitive impairments.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown promise in using neuroimaging to study cognitive functions in sleep disorders, indicating that this approach may yield valuable insights.
