abstract = {Good sleep quality is essential for both physiological and
mental health. It helps in clearing TAU and beta-amyloid
aggregates and consolidating memory, key processes in
delaying dementia. Poor sleep is linked to reduced cognitive
flexibility in daily life, likely due to decreased brain
complexity, reflecting a reduced range of adaptive
spatiotemporal brain dynamics. This study introduces a novel
approach using non-linear EEG analysis focused on low
conventional bands to classify sleep quality in individuals
with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), based on brain
complexity.Resting-state EEG was collected from 22
participants with MCI aged 60+, grouped by sleep quality
(Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index): 11 MCI with good sleep,
and 11 MCI with poor sleep (Table 1). EEG data (128
channels, 5-minute recordings) were normalized and
decomposed using the Discrete Wavelet Transform to reach
delta (1-4 Hz) and theta (4-8 Hz) bands. Ten non-linear
complexity features, namely approximate entropy, correlation
dimension, detrended fluctuation analysis, energy, Higuchi
fractal dimension, Hurst exponent, Katz fractal dimension,
Boltzmann Gibbs entropy, Lyapunov exponent and Shannon
entropy, were extracted from 5 second segments. Statistical
measures (mean, standard deviation, 95th percentile,
variance, median, kurtosis) were computed from these
time-distribution features. These statistics were then used
for training and testing a set of classic machine learning
classifiers, employing leave-one-out cross-validation
(Figure 2).Brain complexity successfully classified sleep
quality in MCI, achieving an accuracy and area under the
curve (AUC) of 1 in channel D13 (delta subband) using
Quadratic Discriminant Analysis (QDA), and an accuracy of
0.94 and an AUC of 0.95 in channel B17 (theta subband) using
the Extra Trees Classifier (ETC) (Figure 3).Specific machine
learning classifiers distinguish excellently sleep quality
in MCI using spatiotemporal complexity features from slow
EEG subbands. The most relevant channels for group
discrimination were primarily located in bilateral temporal
regions of the neocortex known to be among the first
affected in amnestic MCI, as previously shown in
neuroimaging studies. Future longitudinal studies could
investigate whether changes in brain complexity within these
slow-frequency temporal regions, influenced by sleep
quality, are associated with an earlier or faster onset of
dementia.},
