Abstract

Soft-computing techniques are commonly used to detect medical phenomena and help with clinical diagnoses and treatment. In this work, we propose a design for a computerized sleep scoring method, which is based on a fuzzy classifier and a genetic algorithm (GA). We design the fuzzy classifier based on the GA using a single electroencephalogram (EEG) signal that detects differences in spectral features. Polysomnography was performed on four healthy young adults (males with a mean age of 27.5 years). The sleep classifier was designed using a sleep record and tested on the sleep records of the subjects. Our results show that the genetic fuzzy classifier (GFC) agreed with visual sleep staging approximately 84.6% of the time in detection of wakefulness (WA), shallow sleep (SS), deep sleep (DS), and rapid eye movement (REM) stages.
