Information Theoretic Approach

The categorization of sleep stages helps to diagnose different sleep-related ailments. In this paper, an entropy-based information–theoretic approach is introduced for the automated categorization of sleep stages using multi-channel electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. This approach comprises of three stages. First, the decomposition of multi-channel EEG signals into sub-band signals or modes is performed using a novel multivariate projection-based fixed boundary empirical wavelet transform (MPFBEWT) filter bank. Second, entropy features such as bubble and dispersion entropies are computed from the modes of multi-channel EEG signals. Third, a hybrid learning classifier based on class-specific residuals using sparse representation and distances from nearest neighbors is used to categorize sleep stages automatically using entropy-based features computed from MPFBEWT domain modes of multi-channel EEG signals. The proposed approach is evaluated using the multi-channel EEG signals obtained from the cyclic alternating pattern (CAP) sleep database. Our results reveal that the proposed sleep staging approach has obtained accuracies of 91.77%, 88.14%, 80.13%, and 73.88% for the automated categorization of wake vs. sleep, wake vs. rapid eye movement (REM) vs. Non-REM, wake vs. light sleep vs. deep sleep vs. REM sleep, and wake vs. S1-sleep vs. S2-sleep vs. S3-sleep vs. REM sleep schemes, respectively. The developed method has obtained the highest overall accuracy compared to the state-of-art approaches and is ready to be tested with more subjects before clinical application.

Manual classification of sleep stage is a time-consuming but necessary step in the diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders, and its automation has been an area of active study. The previous works have shown that low dimensional fast Fourier transform (FFT) features and many machine learning algorithms have been applied. In this paper, we demonstrate utilization of features extracted from EEG signals via FFT to improve the performance of automated sleep stage classification through machine learning methods. Unlike previous works using FFT, we incorporated thousands of FFT features in order to classify the sleep stages into 2–6 classes. Using the expanded version of Sleep-EDF dataset with 61 recordings, our method outperformed other state-of-the art methods. This result indicates that high dimensional FFT features in combination with a simple feature selection is effective for the improvement of automated sleep stage classification.

Sleep Stage Classification

<div>In this study, we have proposed SCL-SSC(Supervised Contrastive Learning for Sleep Stage Classification), a deep learning-based framework for sleep stage classification which performs the task in two stages, 1) feature representation learning, and 2) classification. The feature learner is trained separately to represent the raw EEG signals in the feature space such that the distance between the embedding of EEG signals of the same sleep stage has less than the distance between the embedding of EEG signals of different sleep stages in the euclidean space. On top of feature learners, we have trained the classifier to perform the classification task. The distribution of sleep stages is not uniform in the PSG data, wake(W) and N2 sleep stages appear more frequently than the other sleep stages, which leads to an imbalance dataset problem. This paper addresses this issue by using weighted softmax cross-entropy loss function and also dataset oversampling technique utilized to produce synthetic data points for minority sleep stages for approximately balancing the number of sleep stages in the training dataset. The performance of our proposed model is evaluated on the publicly available Physionet datasets EDF-Sleep 2013 and 2018 versions. We have trained and evaluated our model on two EEG channels (Fpz-Cz and Pz-Oz) on these datasets separately. The evaluation result shows that the performance of SCL-SSC is the best annotation performance compared to the existing state-of art deep learning algorithms to our best of knowledge, with an overall accuracy of 94.1071% with a macro F1 score of 92.6416 and Cohen’s Kappa coefficient(κ) 0.9197. Our ablation studies on SCL-SSC shows that both triplet loss based pre-training of feature learner and oversampling of minority classes are contributing to better performance of the model(SCL-SSC).</div>

This work proposes a methodology for sleep stage classification based on two main approaches: the combination of features extracted from electroencephalogram (EEG) signal by different extraction methods, and the use of stacked sequential learning to incorporate predicted information from nearby sleep stages in the final classifier. The feature extraction methods used in this work include three representative ways of extracting information from EEG signals: Hjorth features, wavelet transformation and symbolic representation. Feature selection was then used to evaluate the relevance of individual features from this set of methods. Stacked sequential learning uses a second-layer classifier to improve the classification by using previous and posterior first-layer predicted stages as additional features providing information to the model. Results show that both approaches enhance the sleep stage classification accuracy rate, thus leading to a closer approximation to the experts' opinion.

Novel Method

<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Visual sleep-stage scoring is a time-consuming technique that cannot extract the nonlinear characteristics of electroencephalogram (EEG). This article presents a novel method for sleep-stage differentiation based on sonification of sleep-EEG signals using wavelet transform and recurrent neural network (RNN). <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Two RNNs were designed and trained separately based on a database of classical guitar pieces and Kurdish tanbur Makams using a long short-term memory model. Moreover, discrete wavelet transform and wavelet packet decomposition were used to determine the association between the EEG signals and musical pitches. Continuous wavelet transform was applied to extract musical beat-based features from the EEG. Then, the pretrained RNN was used to generate music. To test the proposed model, 11 sleep EEGs were mapped onto the guitar and tanbur frequency intervals and presented to the pretrained RNN. Next, the generated music was randomly presented to 2 neurologists. <b><i>Results:</i></b> The proposed model classified the sleep stages with an accuracy of &#x3e;81% for tanbur and more than 93% for guitar musical pieces. The inter-rater reliability measured by Cohen’s kappa coefficient (<i>κ</i>) revealed good reliability for both tanbur (<i>κ</i> = 0.64, <i>p</i> &#x3c; 0.001) and guitar musical pieces (<i>κ</i> = 0.85, <i>p</i> &#x3c; 0.001). <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> The present EEG sonification method leads to valid sleep staging by clinicians. The method could be used on various EEG databases for classification, differentiation, diagnosis, and treatment purposes. Real-time EEG sonification can be used as a feedback tool for replanning of neurophysiological functions for the management of many neurological and psychiatric disorders in the future.

This paper presents a new method for sleep scoring based on nonlinear Volterra features of EEG signals by using only one single EEG channel. The Volterra features are extracted from characteristic waves of EEG signals which can characterize different sleep stages individually. The recurrent neural classifier takes all the features extracted on 30s epochs from EEG signals and assigns them to one of the five possible stages: Wakefulness, NREM 1, NREM 2, SWS, and REM. Eight sleep recordings obtained from Caucasian males and females without any medication are utilized to validate the proposed method. Moreover, the performance of the proposed classifier in comparison with other classifiers is presented. The classification rate of the proposed classifier is better than that of the other classifier that does not use nonlinear Volterra feature. The results demonstrate that the proposed classifier with nonlinear Volterra features of the characteristic waves of EEG signals can classify sleep stages more efficiently and accurately using only a single EEG channel.

Sleep Stage Classification

AbstractDeep neural networks can provide accurate automated classification of human sleep signals into sleep stages that enables more effective diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders. We develop a deep convolutional neural network (CNN) that attains state-of-the-art sleep stage classification performance on input data consisting of human sleep EEG and EOG signals. Nested cross-validation is used for optimal model selection and reliable estimation of out-of-sample classification performance. The resulting network attains a classification accuracy of $$84.50 \pm 0.13\%$$ 84.50 ± 0.13 % ; its performance exceeds human expert inter-scorer agreement, even on single-channel EEG input data, therefore providing more objective and consistent labeling than human experts demonstrate as a group. We focus on analyzing the learned internal data representations of our network, with the aim of understanding the development of class differentiation ability across the layers of processing units, as a function of layer depth. We approach this problem visually, using t-Stochastic Neighbor Embedding (t-SNE), and propose a pooling variant of Centered Kernel Alignment (CKA) that provides an objective quantitative measure of the development of sleep stage specialization and differentiation with layer depth. The results reveal a monotonic progression of both of these sleep stage modeling abilities as layer depth increases.
