Patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) suffer from daytime sleepiness and a decline of cognitive functions. The study evaluated whether special cognitive disabilities predominate in OSAS. Besides the number connection test (ZVT), judging information processing and working velocity, computer-assisted (Wiener Testsystem and Zimmermann Testbatterie) neuropsychological testing was performed in 31 OSAS patients (50.1+/-9.4 years) before starting nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) therapy. Identical test battery was performed in 10 male healthy volunteers (48+/-9.9 years). In addition visual evoked event-related potentials (ERPs) were recorded, the P3-component was evaluated. Impairment of alertness (P
