Abstract
A program for automatic sleep staging of whole nights polygraphic records of human subjects is described. The electronic system consists of an analog component, performing a first reduction of data, and a digital one, a small general purpose computer. The computer program assesses first the technical quality of the record, by recognition of artefacts, which may impair the diagnosis procedure. It performs second a two steps analysis, based upon electroencephalogram, muscle activity and eye movements. The first step of analysis is a recognition of elementary patterns on the tape and the second step is a calculation of a minute by minute sleep stage diagnosis, based upon these elementary patterns. This program has been tested by comparisons with human scoring of the same records, and has proved to have a good accuracy. This system is actually used as a clinical tool in the exploration of sleep disturbances.

Techniques of recording, scoring, and doubtful records are carefully considered, and Recommendations for abbreviations, types of pictorial representation, order of polygraphic tracings are suggested.

The first systematic application of a hybrid sleep EEG scoring system is reported and it is indicated further that frequency spectrum analysis is not practical in sleep staging, since the amplitude of delta activity and spindles changes throughout a given night.

It is concluded that spectra are adequate measurement parameters for all sleep stages with the possible exception of the stage 1/REM discrimination, where the level of performance is marginally acceptable.

It is proposed that EEG analysis can be classified into two logical categories according to the fixed unit of information coding designed into the system.

The best agreement between visual and computer classification was attained with the “sleep print” method, which classified sleep stages according to the baseline cross primary wave and first derivative frequency patterns, amplitude, and primary wave frequency variability.

An objective method of identifying parameters of the EEG which are important in distinguishing subjects' responses to differing situations has shown its value for developing criteria applicable to many individuals.

A small, portable, special-purpose device is described which accomplishes automatic on-line evaluation and graphing of a subject's sleep status and considers EOG information to permit detection of the REM state.

Spectral analysis of the parietal EEG lead is not sufficient to differentiate among the six states of consciousness studied here, and the use of detectors for such phasic events as eye movement and K-complexes might aid sleep stage discrimination considerably.

An automated sleep electroencephalogram (EEG) analyzer has been designed and tested in an effort to eliminate tedious and variable human interpretation of experimental EEG data and gives 89-percent correlation with minute-by-minute comparison to the human evaluation of the same test EEG.

The EEG amplitude varied systematically throughout the night, following a pattern which has been previously reported for the stages of sleep, which presents the possibility of developing an objective method for scoring the sleep EEG to replace current qualitative scoring techniques.

A digital computer program has been constructed which defines those visually apparent maxima and minima in a way comparable to that of a human electroencephalographer, which can be used to monitor a pattern over a short or long duration.
