I am glad that what I proposed 10 years ago is finally becoming a reality! The presentation that was attached to the e-mail below can be found on my website. http://www.gap-s.net/medphysics.htm ----- Original Message ----- From: Mark Rosen To: (REMOVED BY EDITOR) Sent: Monday, August 15, 2005 8:45 AM Subject: IR Imaging and Sleep Studies Dear (REMOVED BY EDITOR), For almost 6 years, I have been trying to prod the people in the sleep research community to investigate the potential of IR imaging as a “perfect” non-contact monitoring technology for sleep studies. I have attached the presentation I put together which I presented to the Children’s Sleep Lab at Yale in 1999 and distributed to the sleep research community in 2002.* You and your colleagues have done some outstanding work, actually solving what I consider the toughest challenge in being able to monitor heart rate and breathing. I would greatly appreciate it if you could keep me informed of your progress (preprints or Acrobat pdf files). Wishing you the very best in your research efforts. With my very best regards, Mark Rosen, Ph.D. mdarosen@post.harvard.edu www.GAP-s.net
