Analysis of sleep for the diagnosis of sleep disorders such as Type-1 Narcolepsy (T1N) currently requires visual inspection of polysomnography records by trained scoring technicians. Here, we used neural networks in approximately 3,000…

Or's of And's (OA) models are comprised of a small number of disjunctions of conjunctions, also called disjunctive normal form. An example of an OA model is as follows: If ($x_1 = $ `blue' AND $x_2=$ `middle') OR ($x_1 = $ `yellow'), then…

Patients suffering from obstructive sleep apnea are mainly treated with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). Good compliance with this therapy is broadly accepted as more than 4h of CPAP average use nightly. Although it is a highly…

Sleep disorder diagnosis relies on the analysis of polysomnography (PSG) records. As a preliminary step of this examination, sleep stages are systematically determined. In practice, sleep stage classification relies on the visual inspection…

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most prevalent arrhythmia and is associated with a five-fold increase in stroke risk. Many individuals with AF go undetected. These individuals are often asymptomatic. There are ongoing debates on whether…

Automated sleep staging is commonly approached as a supervised machine learning problem, with deep learning methods dominating recent research. While machine learning models achieve near-human level agreement with human-scored reference…

Sleep disorders are implicated in a growing number of health problems. In this paper, we present a signal-processing/machine learning approach to detecting arousals in the multi-channel polysomnographic recordings of the Physionet/CinC…

Accurate and temporally consistent segmentation of the left ventricle from echocardiography videos is essential for estimating the ejection fraction and assessing cardiac function. However, modeling spatiotemporal dynamics remains difficult…

Background and Aim: Each stage of sleep can affect human health, and not getting enough sleep at any stage may lead to sleep disorder like parasomnia, apnea, insomnia, etc. Sleep-related diseases could be diagnosed using Convolutional…

In this paper, we propose a novel method and a practical approach to predicting early onsets of sleep syndromes, including restless leg syndrome, insomnia, based on an algorithm that is comprised of two modules. A Fast Fourier Transform is…

A model and analysis of the human sleep/wake system is presented. The model is derived using the known neuronal groups, and their various projections, involved with sleep and wake. Inherent in the derivation is the existence of a slow time…

The oxygen saturation level in the blood (SaO2) is crucial for health, particularly in relation to sleep-related breathing disorders. However, continuous monitoring of SaO2 is time-consuming and highly variable depending on patients'…

Classification of sleep stages plays an essential role in diagnosing sleep-related diseases including Sleep Disorder Breathing (SDB) disease. In this study, we propose an end-to-end deep learning architecture, named SSNet, which comprises…

Accurate classification of sleep stages from less obtrusive sensor measurements such as the electrocardiogram (ECG) or photoplethysmogram (PPG) could enable important applications in sleep medicine. Existing approaches to this problem have…

Characterizing the sleep-wake cycle in adolescents is an important prerequisite to better understand the association of abnormal sleep patterns with subsequent clinical and behavioral outcomes. The aim of this research was to develop hidden…

As sleep disorders are becoming more prevalent there is an urgent need to classify sleep stages in a less disturbing way.In particular, sleep-stage classification using simple sensors, such as single-channel electroencephalography (EEG),…

Sleep state classification is vital in managing and understanding sleep patterns and is generally the first step in identifying acute or chronic sleep disorders. However, it is essential to do this without affecting the natural environment…

Accurate classification of sleep disorders, particularly insomnia and sleep apnea, is important for reducing long term health risks and improving patient quality of life. However, clinical sleep studies are resource intensive and are…

We introduce new quantitative approaches to study sleep-stage transitions with the goal of addressing the two following questions: (i) Can the new approaches provide more information on the structure of sleep-stage transitions? (ii) How…

Automatic sleep staging has been often treated as a simple classification problem that aims at determining the label of individual target polysomnography (PSG) epochs one at a time. In this work, we tackle the task as a sequence-to-sequence…
