Spanish term or phrase: incremento de las fracciones gamma, ... del espectrogram
My problem is that I can't find any hits for the obvious combinations of the terms in this expression - i.e., increase in the gamma, beta, y xx fractions of the spectrogram" .... Here is the source text:

Resumen de hallazgos anormales 3 impresión diagnóstica
Durante el sueño encontramos severo ronquido patológico, severas desaturaciones de oxïgeno, hiperactividad autonómica simpática, **incremento de las fracciones gamma, beta 2 y beta 1 del espectrogram**, etc.

spectrogram showing increased gamma,... bands
Explanation:
or "relative increase of..." if you consider fracciones as fractions in a mathematical sense (percentages).
However, I think it is actually more like segments on the curve than percentages of the whole wave 'energy'. This would be covered by the term "bands".

agree  philgoddard: Fractions and bands are fine too, but you were first.

Increase in the gamma fractions...of the spectrogram


Explanation:
Pienso que se está hablando de un análisis de sangre y no de la radiación. Si eso es el caso, entonces fracciones gamma se refería a fracciones sanguíneas o proteínas en la sangre.

increased activity in the gamma (wave) bands ... of the spectrogram


Explanation:
The text is possibly referring to increased activity in these bands (gamma and beta waves) at points during sleep, which might be an indicator of wakefulness as a result of the snoring.


Stage 1 (NREM1 or N1) is the stage between wakefulness and sleep, sometimes referred to as somnolence or drowsy sleep, in which the muscles are still quite active and the eyes roll around slowly and may open and close from time to time. In more scientific terms, stage 1 is the period of transition from relatively unsynchronized beta and gamma brain waves (with a frequency of 12-30 Hz and 25-100 Hz respectively), which is the normal range for the awake state...

http://www.howsleepworks.com/types_nonrem.html

Generally speaking, the deeper the level of sleep, the slower, stronger and more synchronized the brain waves become, so that a sleep cycle can also be thought of as a progression from the beta and gamma waves of wakefulness, through alpha and theta waves, to the delta waves of slow-wave sleep (and back again). Also, the deeper the level of sleep in the cycle, the higher the arousal threshold, so that it is quite difficult to wake someone in stage 3 sleep, but relatively easy in stage 1 or REM sleep.
http://www.howsleepworks.com/types_cycles.html

For the IN-phase pattern, however, a broad-band extension of activities in the gamma band can be identified as consequence of the overlapping, after averaging, of multiple oscillatory bursts appearing in different frequency bands across the whole gamma range from 30 to 120 Hz

agree  Anne Schulz: Great research! I agree, activity is what is increased, even if physicians don't necessarily use such accurate terminology.
