What is the ENIGMA-Sleep? The Enhancing NeuroImaging Genetics through Meta Analysis (ENIGMA) consortium is a global collaboration of over 1400 scientists across 43 countries, studying neuropsychiatric illnesses and provides a powerful collaborative framework around the world. ENIGMA has more than 50 working groups, pooling large-scale coordinated data and expertise to answer fundamental clinical and neuroscientific questions, which offers testing reproducibility and robustness of findings (1).

The NSRR is constantly developing new tools to improve its user experience. One of the newly developed applications, as inspired by the Dementias Platform, is the Cohort Matrix. The NSRR cohort matrix consists of three tabs: "Cohort Overview" tab provides summary of the key characteristics (e.g. sample size, age range, license, etc.), sleep data availability (e.g. polysomnography EDF files, actigraphy, etc.) and links back to the dataset introduction page.

Guest Blogger: Mattias Baumert Overview What is the problem being addressed? Our objective was to quantify the burden of cortical arousals throughout sleep and determine its association with long-term cardiovascular (CV) and overall mortality. What was the approach to solving the problem? We quantified arousal burden (AB) as the cumulative duration of all arousal events relative to total sleep time in three large cohort studies.
