Özet

We have developed a new method for automatic estimation of vigilance level by using electroencephalogram (EEG), electromyogram (EMG) and eye movement (EOG) signals recorded during transition from wakefulness to sleep. In the previous studies, EEG signals and EEG signals with EMG signals were used for estimating vigilance levels. In the present study, it was aimed to estimate vigilance levels by using EEG, EMG and EOG signals. The changes in EEG, EMG and EOG were diagnosed while transiting from wakefulness to sleep by using wavelet transform and developed artificial neural network (ANN). EEG signals were separated to its subbands using wavelet transform, LEOG (Left EOG), REOG (Right EOG) and chin EMG was used in ANN process for increasing the accuracy of the estimation rate by evaluating their tonic levels and also used in data preparation stage to verify and eliminate the movement artifacts. Then, training and testing data sets consist of the EEG subbands (delta, theta, alpha and beta); LEOG, REOG and EMG signals were applied to the ANN for training and testing the system which gives three Situations for the vigilance level of the subject: Awake, drowsy, and sleep. The accuracy of estimation is about 97-98% while the accuracy of the previous study which used only EEG was 95-96% and the study which used EEG with EMG was 98-99%. The reason of decreasing the percentage of present study according to the last study is because of the increase of the input data. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
