This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. Despite a number of challenges, Dr. Rand is progressing with sleep research. The 10/30/05 Manoa flood has decelerated research efforts at the Physiological Signals and Sleep (PSSL) laboratory because other researchers had to move into the space from the first floor of the Biomedical building. Consequently, most of the PSSL equipment has been moved into a vacant office Snyder 405. Doing all night polysomnograms and multiple sleep latency tests has been impossible. However, research continues in EEG nonlinear and multi-channel analysis, biomedical high performance computing and heart rate variability. The researchers are in the process of renovating a new space for the PSSL in the two small adjoining rooms next door (Snyder 405 & 407A). The PSSL research group recently applied for a renovation grant for this space from the UH Manoa disaster relief fund (pending). The researchers anticipate the new space will be occupied by May 2005 and ready for the summer research project by Dr. Rand.
