BACKGROUND: Sleep scoring is an essential but time-consuming process, and therefore automatic sleep scoring is crucial and urgent to help address the growing unmet needs for sleep research. This paper aims to develop a versatile deep-learning archite...
Studies from the literature show that the prevalence of sleep disorder in children is far higher than that in adults. Although much research effort has been made on sleep stage classification for adults, children have significantly different characte...
OBJECTIVE: Sleep quality has a significant impact on human mental and physical health. The detection of sleep-wake states is thus of paramount importance in the study of sleep. The gold standard method for sleep-wake classification is multi-sensor-ba...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Sleep apnea is a common sleep disorder, usually diagnosed using an expensive, highly specialized, and inconvenient test called polysomnography. A single SpO2 sensor based on an automated classification system can be develope...
BACKGROUND: Sleep apnea is a respiratory disorder characterized by an intermittent reduction (hypopnea) or cessation (apnea) of breathing during sleep. Depending on the presence of a breathing effort, sleep apnea is divided into obstructive sleep apn...
BACKGROUND: Estimation of sleep parameters by wrist actigraphy is highly dependent on performance of the interpretative algorithm (IA) that converts movement data into sleep/wake scores.
BACKGROUND: Approximately 500,000 children undergo tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy (T&A) annually for treatment of obstructive sleep disordered breathing (oSDB). Although polysomnography is beneficial for preoperative risk stratification in these chi...
Accurately diagnosing sleep disorders is essential for clinical assessments and treatments. Polysomnography (PSG) has long been used for detection of various sleep disorders. In this research, electrocardiography (ECG) and electromayography (EMG) hav...

OBJECTIVE: Significant interscorer variability is found in manual scoring of arousals in polysomnographic recordings (PSGs). We propose a fully automatic method, the Multimodal Arousal Detector (MAD), for detecting arousals.
OBJECTIVE: Currently, manual scoring is the gold standard of leg movement scoring (LMs) and periodic LMs (PLMS) in overnight polysomnography (PSG) studies, which is subject to inter-scorer variability. The objective of this study is to design and val...
