Title
Detection of the electrode disconnection in sleep signals
Abstract
Sleep staging process that is performed in sleep laboratories in hospitals has an important role in diagnosing some of the sleep disorders and disturbances which are seen in sleep. And also it is an indispensable method. It is usually performed by a sleep expert through examining during the night of the patients (6–8 hours) recorded Electroencephalogram (EEG), Electrooculogram (EOG), Electromyogram (EMG), electrocardiogram (ECG) and other some signals of the patients and determining the stages of sleep in different time sections named as epochs. Manual sleep staging is preferred among the sleep experts but because it is rather tiring and time consuming task, automatic sleep stage scoring studies has come to the fore. However, none of the so far made automatic sleep staging was not accepted by the experts. The most important reason is that the results of the automated systems are not desired accuracy. There are many factors that affecting the accuracy of the systems, such as noise, the inter-channel interference, excessive body movements and disconnection of electrodes. In this study, we examined the written an algorithm to be able to determine to what extent the disconnection of electrodes in EEG signal that obtained one healthy person at the sleep laboratory of Meram Medicine Faculty of Necmettin Erbakan University. According to the obtained application results, the electrodes disconnection in EEG signal could be detected maximum of 100% and minimum of 99.12% accuracy. Accordingly, based on the success achieved in the study, this algorithm is thought to contribute positively to the researchers that the work on and will work on sleep staging problems and increase the success of automatic sleep staging systems.
