Abstract

A new method of spindle waveform detection is presented for the automated analysis of sleep EEG. The method is based on the combined application of signal conditioning in the time-domain and local spectrum analyzing in the frequency-domain. The overall detection system is implemented and, tested in real-time with a total of 24 hour data obtained from four subjects. The result shows an average agreement of 86.7% with the visually inspected result.
