NAME¶

Aghermann -- a sleep research experiment manager and Achermann et al (1993) model simulator

SYNOPSIS¶

aghermann [ exp_root_dir]

DESCRIPTION¶

Aghermann is GTK+ program designed to run Process S simulations on Slow-Wave Activity profiles from EEG recordings as outlined in Achermann et al (1993). In this capacity, Aghermann produces a set of sleep homeostat parameters which can be used to describe and differentiate individual sleepers, such as short vs long sleepers, early vs late, etc. Also provided are general-purpose facilities for displaying EEG and accompanying recordings, such as EOG and EMG, saved in EDF (European Data Format) files. These recordings can then be conveniently scored; scores can be imported/exported in plain ASCII. For the particulars of how Aghermann treats the various fields, see edfhed(1). If run without arguments, your last session will be restored; an experiment located in exp_root_dir will be selected otherwise.

FILES¶

~/.config/aghermann/sessionrc, contains a list of paths to recent experiment trees.

./.agherman.conf and ./.expdesign.conf, saved settings of the experiment located in

this tree.
