PiezoSleep
Data Collection Software
Our PiezoSleep data collection software scores sleep and wake automatically while the system is running, processing real-time pressure signals from animals during sleep or waking activity. A highly sensitive, calibrated piezoelectric sensor (or new Adapt-A-Base sensor pad) is under the rodent cage. PiezoSleep collects the analog data, digitizes it, and roughly computes sleep and wake, which is viewable in real time.

Sleep Summary Tab
View the cumulative percent of sleep from the beginning of the recording.

Decision Statistics
Displays a histogram of cumulative sleep scores from the beginning of the recording. Below the 0 threshold indicates wake scores. Each is scored over a two-second interval.
