How Watson The Narcoleptic Dog Joined Mignot
- Mignot adopted a returned narcoleptic dog named Watson after rescuing him from a breeder in Vermont.
- Watson works in clinic visits, delights children, and exhibits typical canine cataplexy and sleepiness during long clinic days.
Sleep Fragmentation Drives Older Sleep Age
- Sleep fragmentation emerged as the strongest correlate of sleep age rather than only apnea event count.
- This suggests arousals and disrupted continuity may drive EEG changes linked to mortality more than raw AHI.
Assemble Massive Diverse PSG Datasets
- Build very large, diverse PSG datasets to make EEG-based predictors generalizable and discover disease-specific EEG fingerprints.
- Mignot plans to aggregate ~250,000 sleep studies across centers including Stanford, Kaiser, Emory and international sites.
