Abstract

We report improvements on automatic continuous sleep staging using Hidden Markov Models (HMM). Our totally unsupervised approach detects the cornerstones of human sleep (wakefulness, deep and rem sleep) with around80% accuracy basedon data from a single EEG channel. Contrary to our previous efforts we trainedthe HMM on data from a single sleep lab instead of generalizing to data from diverse sleep labs. This solvedour previous problem of detecting rem sleep.
