Abstract Details

2008, Master of Sciences, Case Western Reserve University, Electrical Engineering.
Observation of sleep state can provide very useful information for understanding brain disorders in neonates. The neurologist visually scores sleep state according to the polysomnogram. Neurologist expertise is a critical factor for the success of the sleep scoring; furthermore, visual sleep scoring is extreme time consuming. Computer based sleep scoring systems has been used to assist neurologist; however, most of them are not practical in real-time processing. The objective of this research is to develop real-time automated active/quiet sleep and arousal/non-arousal scoring system in healthy neonates. The active and quiet sleep classifier based on Discrete Wavelet Transform, support vector machine, and principle component analysis has satisfied correct classification rates. The proposed arousal detection system based on appearance of events including changes in the EEG, increases in the EMG amplitude, irregular breathing, and body movements, has unsatisfied correct rate because of ambiguous arousal scoring rules and incomplete information of scored arousals.
