[R] Polysomnographic data analysis with R?
Dear all, Do you know if there is any R package or function we can use to analyze polysomnographic data? For example, something that can import an EDF file (or in a different format) and can give some properties of the polysomnographic records like periods of different sleep phases, etc. I looked for it in the web and I didn't find. But maybe I used the wrong key-words. Any help will be much appreciated!

Hi Charles, This looks like the European Data Format (EDF and EDF+), which has a complete file specification. If there is no existing R package, it might be possible to write an import function from the specification, something like the functions in the "foreign" package.

[R] Polysomnographic data analysis with R?
Dear Jim, Thank you for your response. Yes, it is the European Data Format you mention. Actually we can read the data correctly, but I was wondering if there is any package that can identify different sleep phases automatically based on the data. I supposed such a package does not exist, it is really difficult to automatize the identification of sleep phases based only on data, but I asked here just in case. Thanks for your attention!
