TITLE: Multimodal sleep staging and diagnosis of sleep disorders
Sleep staging is a tedious and time-consuming process carried out manually by clinicians in which they annotate overnight polysomnograph recordings. An automated sleep scoring system can perform faster and objective sleep staging. Methods are proposed to classify the sleep EEG data into multiple stages by utilizing temporal, spectral, time-frequency, non-linear, and statistical features and random undersampling with boosting technique (RUSBoost) on a decision tree classifier. The role of data augmentation and temporal context on classifier performance is evaluated for healthy controls and clinical populations. This work also attempts to classify different sleep disorders using single-channel EEG and evaluate the role of individual sleep stages in that task.
Significant contributions of the thesis:
Binary classification of sleep and wake states for healthy individuals and clinical population:
-
For this two-class classification problem, we explored the performances of different modalities such as EEG, EOG & EMG.
-
We also performed ensemble empirical mode decomposition and Poincare plot analysis of the signal for identifying sleep and wake states.
Multi-class classification of sleep stages using single channel EEG:
-
Utilising the knowledge from earlier works on binary classification, we considered different sets of features and evaluated the performance of RUSBoost classifier on unseen test subjects. This work reports the performance of different n-class (n=2,3,4,5,6) classification problems on three publicly available datasets of overnight polysomnography recordings.
Multi-modal classification of sleep stages using a hierarchical model
-
In this work, a six-level hierarchical model (HM) has been designed. The aim is to improve the sleep staging accuracy by breaking down the 5-class classification problem into six binary classification problems, while also reducing the misclassifications among N1, REM, and wake stages.
-
Introducing data augmentation (DA) and temporal context (TC) in the proposed hierarchical model to further improve sleep staging performance. We validated the results of DA and TC on healthy as well as clinical populations from seven publicly available datasets.
Diagnosis of different sleep disorders using a single EEG channel
-
This work aims to classify seven different sleep disorders and healthy controls using light gradient boosting model with a single-channel EEG.
-
We examined the importance of different features in distinguishing various pathological groups and healthy individuals.
-
We also evaluated the role of individual sleep stages in distinguishing the different disorders.
