BACKGROUND: Treatment of obstructive sleep apnea is crucial for long term health and reduced economic burden. For those considered for surgery, drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) is a method to characterize location and pattern of sleep-related uppe...
Long-term sleep stage monitoring is very important for the diagnosis and treatment of insomnia. With the development of wearable electroencephalogram (EEG) devices, we developed a fast and accurate sleep stage classification method in this study with...
Artificial neural networks are known to suffer from catastrophic forgetting: when learning multiple tasks sequentially, they perform well on the most recent task at the expense of previously learned tasks. In the brain, sleep is known to play an impo...

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) syndrome is a common sleep disorder and a key cause of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases that seriously affect the lives and health of people. The development of Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) has enabled th...
In this paper, a horn-shaped strip antenna exponentially tapered carved on a multilayer dielectric substrate for an indoor body position tracking system is proposed. The performance of the proposed antenna was verified by testing it as a tracking sta...
Sleep screening is an important tool for both healthcare and neuroscientific research. Automatic sleep scoring is an alternative to the time-consuming gold-standard manual scoring procedure. Recently there have seen promising results on automatic sta...
INTRODUCTION: Accurate sleep staging is an essential basis for sleep quality assessment and plays an important role in sleep quality research. However, the occupancy of different sleep stages is unbalanced throughout the sleep process, which makes th...

BACKGROUND: Despite the tremendous prog- ress recently made towards automatic sleep staging in adults, it is currently unknown if the most advanced algorithms generalize to the pediatric population, which displays distinctive characteristics in overn...
Artificial neural networks overwrite previously learned tasks when trained sequentially, a phenomenon known as catastrophic forgetting. In contrast, the brain learns continuously, and typically learns best when new training is interleaved with period...
