Clinical sleep scoring involves a tedious visual review of overnight polysomnograms by a human expert, according to official standards. It could appear then a suitable task for modern artificial intelligence algorithms. Indeed, machine learning algor...
OBJECTIVE: Sleep stage scoring is essential for diagnosing sleep disorders. Visual scoring of sleep stages is very time-consuming and prone to human errors. In this work, we introduce an efficient approach to improve the accuracy of sleep stage scori...
Using a smart method for automatic diagnosis in medical applications, such as sleep stage classification is considered as one of the important challenges of the last few years which can replace the time-consuming process of visual inspection done by ...

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 polyso...
Electroencephalogram (EEG) is a common base signal used to monitor brain activities and diagnose sleep disorders. Manual sleep stage scoring is a time-consuming task for sleep experts and is limited by inter-rater reliability. In this paper, we propo...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Sleep is an important part of our life. That importance is highlighted by the multitude of health problems which result from sleep disorders. Detecting these sleep disorders requires an accurate interpretation of physiologic...
BACKGROUND: Electroencephalography (EEG) monitors brain activity during sleep and is used to identify sleep disorders. In sleep medicine, clinicians interpret raw EEG signals in so-called sleep stages, which are assigned by experts to every 30s windo...

Understanding of the neuroscientific sleep mechanisms is associated with mental/cognitive and physical well-being and pathological conditions. A prerequisite for further analysis is the identification of the sleep macroarchitecture through manual sle...
PURPOSE: Portable sleep monitoring devices with less-attached sensors and high-accuracy sleep staging methods can expedite sleep disorder diagnosis. The aim of this study was to propose a single-channel EEG sleep staging model, SleepStageNet, which e...
OBJECTIVE: Sleep spindles have been implicated in memory consolidation and synaptic plasticity during NREM sleep. Detection accuracy and latency in automatic spindle detection are critical for real-time applications.
