Automatisk sömnklassificering med hjälp av artificiell intelligens. Sömn är avgörande för vår hälsa, men att manuellt analysera sömn är både tidskrävande och kostsamt. Genom att använda artificiell intelligens har vi utvecklat en metod som automatiskt kan klassificera sömnstadier baserat på EEG-signaler, vilket kan effektivisera sömnanalys. Människor spenderar ungefär en tredjedel av sina liv sHistorically, sleep stage classification has relied on manual scoring performed by experienced professionals. In recent years, the emergence of machine learning has enabled the automation of this process, thus saving both time and resources.
