Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The recognition of many sleep related pathologies highly relies on an accurate classification of sleep stages. Clinically, sleep stages are usually labelled by sleep experts through visually inspecting the whole-night polysomnography (PSG) recording of patients, wherein electroencephalogram (EEG), electrooculogram (EOG) and electromyogram (EMG) play the dominant role. Developing an automatic sleep staging system based on multi-channel physiological signals could relieve the burden of manual labeling by experts, and obtain reliable and repeatable recognition results as well.
