Entropy and Sleep Disorders II

Dear Colleagues,

The first edition of this Special Issue underlined the usefulness of entropy metrics, complexity quantifiers, and other related measures to study biomedical signals and gain insight into different sleep disorders. Here, we present “Entropy and Sleep Disorders II”, where our purpose is to expand the range of sleep-related problems analyzed.

Sleep apnea, sleep stages classification, sleep spindles, or restless leg syndrome are among the more frequently studied sleep issues. New studies regarding these topics are very welcome. In addition, we would like to encourage researchers to present original and recent developments covering the study of other major diseases through the analysis of sleep-related information. The topics may include, but are not be limited to:

• Sleep and cognition;
• Sleep and dementia/Alzheimer’s disease;
• Sleep and cardiovascular risks;
• Sleep and schizophrenia;
• Cardiorespiratory coupling while sleeping.

Similarly, possible suggestions regarding the signals involved in these studies include:

• Electroencephalogram (EEG);
• Electrocardiogram (ECG) and R-R time series (also heart rate variability analysis);
• Photoplethysmography and blood oxygen saturation (SpO2);
• Respiratory signals;
• Electrooculogram.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Entropy is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
