Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Automatic sleep stage scoring is of great importance for investigating sleep architecture during infancy. In this work, we introduce a novel multichannel approach based on deep learning networks and hidden Markov models (HMM) to improve the accuracy of sleep stage classification in term neonates.
