The detection of REM sleep by using the correlation of two-channel EOG signals

The rapid-eye-movement (REM) sleep is one of the most important parts in overnight sleep. In this study, an automatic REM sleep staging rule is introduced. Compared with the traditional REM detection method, a distinct feature of this method is that it only requires two EOG signals and thus reduces the number of input signal channels significantly. We calculate the correlation coefficient series between two EOG signals. By representing such a series with a VQ coding method, several techniques are proposed to improve the classification rate. Experimental results are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
