Abstract

Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep plays a crucial role in brain functions such as memory consolidation and mood regulation. Alterations in REM sleep and REM sleep behaviour disorders are early biomarkers of neurodegenerative disorders. The microstructure of REM sleep consists of two states: phasic and tonic REM sleep. Quantification of phasic and tonic REM sleep is increasingly pursued. Here we introduce, ScoreREM, an open-source user-friendly MATLAB graphical user interface (GUI) designed for rapid annotation and quantification of Phasic and Tonic REM sleep. Due to its intuitive functionalities and vast array of potential application areas, ScoreREM will serve as an indispensable tool for rapid and accurate REM microstructure quantification in clinical studies.

ScoreREM：一个用户友好的Matlab-GUI，用于快速眼动（REM）睡眠微观结构（相位/Tonic）注释和量化

快速眼动（REM）睡眠在记忆巩固和情绪调节等大脑功能中起着至关重要的作用。快速眼动睡眠和快速眼动睡眠行为障碍的改变是神经退行性疾病的早期生物标志物。快速眼动睡眠的微观结构包括两种状态：相性快速眼动睡眠和紧张性快速眼动睡眠。对阶段性和强直性快速眼动睡眠的定量研究越来越受到关注。在这里，我们介绍ScoreREM，一个开源的用户友好的MATLAB图形用户界面（GUI），旨在快速注释和量化相和Tonic REM睡眠。由于其直观的功能和广泛的潜在应用领域，ScoreREM将成为临床研究中快速准确的REM微观结构量化不可或缺的工具。

期刊介绍： SoftwareX aims to acknowledge the impact of software on today''s research practice, and on new scientific discoveries in almost all research domains. SoftwareX also aims to stress the importance of the software developers who are, in part, responsible for this impact. To this end, SoftwareX aims to support publication of research software in such a way that: The software is given a stamp of scientific relevance, and provided with a peer-reviewed recognition of scientific impact; The software developers are given the credits they deserve; The software is citable, allowing traditional metrics of scientific excellence to apply; The academic career paths of software developers are supported rather than hindered; The software is publicly available for inspection, validation, and re-use. Above all, SoftwareX aims to inform researchers about software applications, tools and libraries with a (proven) potential to impact the process of scientific discovery in various domains. The journal is multidisciplinary and accepts submissions from within and across subject domains such as those represented within the broad thematic areas below: Mathematical and Physical Sciences; Environmental Sciences; Medical and Biological Sciences; Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences. Originating from these broad thematic areas, the journal also welcomes submissions of software that works in cross cutting thematic areas, such as citizen science, cybersecurity, digital economy, energy, global resource stewardship, health and wellbeing, etcetera. SoftwareX specifically aims to accept submissions representing domain-independent software that may impact more than one research domain.
