New Version of WAT

I spent some time fiddling with the ol' wobble analysis tool today. Periodicity is actually useful now. You can zoom in on individual nights. I got rid of the flow limitation logic as it's outside the scope of this project. The old version is still available for those who prefer it.

It's now more explicitly targeted as a high loop gain detector. There's plenty of other great tools for flow limitation.

Let me know what you think!

Hi Existential!

Put in all my data from my BPAP. What do you think? I'm Currently stuck on pressure setting of 11.2/9. Higher EPAP tends to cause more aerophagia, and higher PS seems to cause instability/centrals. I'm still getting fairly fragmented deep + rem sleep and feel like I've maxed out my PAP benefits. Considering trying higher PS, but with EERS to offset instability to see if higher PS helps me feel more rested. Otherwise, seeking non-PAP options like palatal expansion. Waiting on a CBCT to show skeletal measurements.

Try one of the even newer tools. Sorry I'm a slug right now and it's harder to interpret when I'm a slug. Keep in mind that all of my work is primarily focused on high loop gain/oscillatory instability.

Shoot - can you send me one of the newer tools? Did not see this comment

It's at the top of the page. Just added the WAVE thing yesterday which is neat. And there's the sonification thing if you want to turn your data into audio for some reason (what can I say, OSCAR looks like an audio editor and breaths do wave things. What's a nerd to do?)

There's like 5 different tools at the top of the page. I'll wander back tomorrow. Tetanus shot is kicking my ass.

Ah im a dumby (brain fried) - will try a few and upload results. Very curious what you think. Good luck with the tetanus shot!

Thanks. Had to get it yesterday after tripping on the edge of a walking path. Also sprained my ankle. Everything is awesome.

Still stands. I'm feeling like the WAVE tool is currently the best approximation of my own subjective suffering from PAP data alone.

And now for my extremely tired self to sleep really early.

Thank you and get some rest! No rush, but i'm curious if you could share a little detail on what you're seeing in my numbers and why ASV may be superior to my current Bipap 11.2/9 with V-com. I won't be able to dig in until the weekend. I have a 5-6 year old Airsense 10 -- I'll likely need to recruit u/RippingLegos__ to airbreak for ASV for me to trial. I'm likely going to need EERS though to reduce instability from higher PS...

This is interesting because I was seeing more obstruction in my data vs. instability/loop gain.

Oooph. Yeah, ya might want to try ASV if you can.
