Given the translational nature of the study, our findings will have direct impact on the diagnostic procedures of people with a central disorder of hypersomnolence. Presentation of the results will educate Canadian sleep medicine researchers, clinicians, technicians and students on central disorders of hypersomnolence and our proposed future diagnostic criteria. I will also present our newly developed machine learning package that could easily be implemented to identify subgroups in other populations. Collaboration is a central theme in my PhD projects. The submitted research was made possible by an international multidisciplinary team of clinicians, data scientist and physicists and it helped us to provide this novel perspective on diagnostic procedures of central disorders of hypersomnolence. In my neuroimaging projects I am closely collaborating with Concordia University and we are currently working on multiple projects in which we stimulate global collaboration on central disorders of hypersomnolence.
