Sleep disorder (수면 장애)
- Insomnia, hypersomnias, parasomnias, sleep-related breathing, narcolepsy, circadian rhythm disorders, and sleep-related movement disorders, etc.
- 건강한 수면을 취하지 못하거나, 충분한 수면을 취하고 있음에도 낮 동안에 각성을 유지하지 못하는 상태, 또는 수면 리듬이 흐트러져 있어 잠자거나 깨어 있을 때 어려움을 겪는 상태를 포함하는 매우 폭넓은 개념
-
Polysomnogram(PSG) recordings (수면다원검사)
- recordings of physiological signals that are collected during an entire night of sleep
- multivariate system; EEG + ECG + EOG + EMG
- sleep stage scoring is performed on PSG records
- sleep experts visually evaluate the PSG signals for a specific time frame -> determine scores according to various criteria
-
Sleep stages (AASM guidelines)
- W(wake), NREM(non-rapid eye movement), REM(rapid eye movement)
- W: awakening before sleep
- NREM S1: brain activity slows down, muscles are relaxed
- NREM S2: actual sleep begins, eye movements stop
- NREM S3: deep sleep; brain function significantly reduced
- NREM S4: deep sleep continued
- REM: eyes closed but move rapidly
-
Why automated detection is needed?
Visual inspection of PSG signals and manual determintation of sleep stages is a complex, costly and problematic process + visually hard to detect EEG signal variations
-
Why EEG?
Most commonly used PSG signal for sleep stage classification; can be easily obtained with wearable technologies and consist useful information
- EEG signal processing: Feature extraction, feature selection, and classification steps are commonly used
-
Proposed Model & Contribution
- 1D-CNN for automated sleep stage classification
- End-to-end structure; no handcrafted feature is used for sleep stage recognition with raw PSG signals
- Can be used without changing any of its layer parameters for two to six sleep classes and other types of PSG signals
