Cognitive and motor reaction times in Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome. A study based on computerized measures

Obstructive Sleep Apnea syndrome (OSAs) is often reported as mainly associated with executive dysfunction. Although delayed reaction times in patients with OSAs have also been reported (Kilpinen et al., 2014), sensitivity of processing speed has not often been assessed. The aim of this study is to provide sensitive and reliable measures to clarify whether different components of information processing speed (i.e., cognitive and motor responses) are equally impaired in OSAs.
