Where does you definition of an Apnea come from?
Is the formula use in SleepyHead or Rescan.
I ask because I have been reading medical Journals and I find the definition varies by source
ah sorry, should have listed the citation, this reference from the NIH:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3459210/
it's the machines that score apneas, not the software.
