The research study tested whether electrical stimulation of the pharyngeal mucosa is able to induce reliably the swallowing reflex in awake and asleep obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients, and whether the induced reflexes affect the sleep variables (sleep Architecture, apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) and number and length of arousals). In addition, the latency, occurrence, and morphology of swallows were evaluated. Eight patients received an esophageal catheter that was used on three consecutive nights for electrical stimulation and manometric recordings.

Here is the raw EEG data for each group: Control (Con), deep breathing for 5 minutes (DB5), deep breathing for 7 minutes (DB7), and deep breathing for 9 minutes (DB9). The time sections are as follow: R1 - baseline; INT - during deep breathing; R2 - after deep breathing; R3 - follow-up session after 7 days. The data are analyzed using EEGLAB and FASTER, extracting the relative mean power for the theta, alpha, and beta bands and plotting their topographies.
