Abstract
Sleep spindles (SSs) and K-complexes (KCs) are brain patterns involved in cognitive functions that appear during sleep. Large-scale sleep studies would benefit from precise and robust automatic sleep event detectors, capable of adapting the variability in both electroencephalography (EEG) signals and expert annotation rules. We introduce the Sleep EEG Event Detector (SEED), a deep learning system that outperforms existing approaches in SS and KC detection, reaching an F1-score of 80.5% and 83.7%, respectively, on the MASS2 dataset. SEED transfers well and requires minimal fine-tuning for new datasets and annotation styles. Remarkably, SEED substantially reduces the required amount of annotated data by using a novel pretraining approach that leverages the rule-based detector A7. An analysis of 11,224 subjects revealed that SEED's detections provide better estimates of SS population statistics than existing approaches. SEED is a powerful resource for obtaining sleep-event statistics that could be useful for establishing population norms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sleep spindles are an indicator of the development and integrity of the central nervous system in infants. Identifying sleep spindles manually in EEG is time-consuming and typically requires experienced experts. Automated detection of sleep spindles would greatly facilitate this analysis. Deep learning methods have been widely used recently in EEG analysis. METHOD We have developed a deep learning-based automated sleep spindle detection system, Deep-spindle, which employs a convolutional neural network (CNN) combined with a bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network, which could assist in the analysis of infant sleep spindles. Deep-spindle was trained on the EEGs of ex-term infants to estimate the number and duration of sleep spindles. The ex-term EEG on channel F4-C4 was split into training (N=81) and validation (N=30) sets. An additional 30 ex-term EEG and 54 ex-preterm infant EEGs (channel F4-C4 and F3-C3) were used as an independent test set. RESULT Deep-spindle detected the number of sleep spindles with 91.9% to 96.5% sensitivity and 95.3% to 96.7% specificity, and estimated sleep spindle duration with a percent error of 13.1% to 19.1% in the independent test set. For each detected spindle event, the user is presented with amplitude, power spectral density and the spectrogram of the corresponding spindle EEG, and the probability of the event being a sleep spindle event, providing the user with insight into why the event is predicted as a sleep spindle to provide confidence in the predictions. CONCLUSION The Deep-spindle system can reduce physicians' workload, demonstrating the potential to assist physicians in the automated analysis of sleep spindles in infants.

Abstract
Objective.Electroencephalography (EEG) is a key tool for non-invasive recording of brain activity and the diagnosis of epilepsy. EEG monitoring is also widely employed in rodent models to track epilepsy development and evaluate experimental therapies and interventions. Whereas automated seizure detection algorithms have been developed for clinical EEG, preclinical versions face challenges of inter-model differences and lack of EEG standardization, leaving researchers relying on time-consuming visual annotation of signals.Approach.In this study, a machine learning-based seizure detection approach, 'Epi-AI', which can semi-automate EEG analysis in multiple mouse models of epilepsy was developed. Twenty-six mice with a total EEG recording duration of 6451 h were used to develop and test the Epi-AI approach. EEG recordings were obtained from two mouse models of kainic acid-induced epilepsy (Models I and III), a genetic model of Dravet syndrome (Model II) and a pilocarpine mouse model of epilepsy (Model IV). The Epi-AI algorithm was compared against two threshold-based approaches for seizure detection, a local Teager-Kaiser energy operator (TKEO) approach and a global Teager-Kaiser energy operator-discrete wavelet transform (TKEO-DWT) combination approach.Main results.Epi-AI demonstrated a superior sensitivity, 91.4%-98.8%, and specificity, 93.1%-98.8%, in Models I-III, to both of the threshold-based approaches which performed well on individual mouse models but did not generalise well across models. The performance of the TKEO approach in Models I-III ranged from 66.9%-91.3% sensitivity and 60.8%-97.5% specificity to detect spontaneous seizures when compared with expert annotations. The sensitivity and specificity of the TKEO-DWT approach were marginally better than the TKEO approach in Models I-III at 73.2%-80.1% and 75.8%-98.1%, respectively. When tested on EEG from Model IV which was not used in developing the Epi-AI approach, Epi-AI was able to identify seizures with 76.3% sensitivity and 98.1% specificity.Significance.Epi-AI has the potential to provide fast, objective and reproducible semi-automated analysis of multiple types of seizure in long-duration EEG recordings in rodents.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Sleep spindle features show developmental changes during infancy and have the potential to provide an early biomarker for abnormal brain maturation. Manual identification of sleep spindles in the electroencephalogram (EEG) is time-consuming and typically requires highly-trained experts. Automated detection of sleep spindles would greatly facilitate this analysis. Research on the automatic detection of sleep spindles in infant EEG has been limited to-date. METHODS We present a random forest-based sleep spindle detection method (Spindle-AI) to estimate the number and duration of sleep spindles in EEG collected from 141 ex-term born infants, recorded at 4 months of age. The signal on channel F4-C4 was split into a training set (81 ex-term) and a validation set (30 ex-term). An additional 30 ex-term infant EEGs (channel F4-C4 and channel F3-C3) were used as an independent test set. Fourteen features were selected for input into a random forest algorithm to estimate the number and duration of spindles and the results were compared against sleep spindles annotated by an experienced clinical physiologist. RESULTS The prediction of the number of sleep spindles in the independent test set demonstrated 93.3% to 93.9% sensitivity, 90.7% to 91.5% specificity, and 89.2% to 90.1% precision. The duration estimation of sleep spindle events in the independent test set showed a percent error of 5.7% to 7.4%. CONCLUSION AND SIGNIFICANCE Spindle-AI has been implemented as a web server that has the potential to assist clinicians in the fast and accurate monitoring of sleep spindles in infant EEGs.

Abstract
Nowadays, sleep disorders are contemplated as the major issue in the human lives. The current work aims at extraction of time-frequency information from recorded dataset and provides an efficient sleep stage detection method. Recordings of brain signal namely electroencephalogram (EEG), electrooculogram (EOG), and electromyogram (EMG) were carried out under defined clinical condition for the classification of sleep EEG. Subsequent upon the extraction of various features from the raw EEG data, neuro-fuzzy system is trained to classify the sleep stages into three major classes namely awake, slow wave sleep (SWS), and rapid eye movement sleep (REM). This classification would enable medical professionals to diagnose sleep related disorders accurately. The results obtained clearly indicate that the mean performance for SWS stage is profound as compared to REM and awake stage. Specificity and sensitivity of the proposed method are obtained as 95.4% and 80%, respectively. The average accuracy of the system employing neuro-fuzzy approach is found to be 90.6% in which SWS stage was best detected among the other stages of sleep EEG.Graphical abstract.

Abstract
Sleep spindles are associated with normal brain development, memory consolidation and infant sleep-dependent brain plasticity and can be used by clinicians in the assessment of brain development in infants. Sleep spindles can be detected in EEG, however, identifying sleep spindles in EEG recordings manually is very time-consuming and typically requires highly trained experts. Research on the automatic detection of sleep spindles in infant EEGs has been limited to-date. In this study, we present a novel supervised machine learning-based algorithm to detect sleep spindles in infant EEG recordings. EEGs collected from 141 ex-term born infants and 6 ex-preterm born infants, recorded at 4 months of age (adjusted), were used to train and test the algorithm. Sleep spindles were annotated by experienced clinical physiologists as the gold standard. The dataset was split into training (81 ex-term), validation (30 ex-term), and testing (30 ex-term + 6 ex-preterm) set. 15 features were selected for input into a random forest algorithm. Sleep spindles were detected in the ex-term infant EEG test set with 92.1% sensitivity and 95.2% specificity. For ex-preterm born infants, the sensitivity and specificity were 80.3% and 91.8% respectively. The proposed algorithm has the potential to assist researchers and clinicians in the automated analysis of sleep spindles in infant EEG.

Abstract
Sleep spindles are important electroencephalographic (EEG) waveforms in sleep medicine; however, it is burdensome even for experts to detect spindles, so automatic spindle detection methodologies have been investigated. Conventional methods utilize waveforms template matching or machine learning for detecting spindles. In the former approach, it is necessary to tune thresholds for individual adaptation, while the latter approach has the problem of imbalanced data because the amount of sleep spindles is small compared with the entire EEG data. The present work proposes a sleep spindle detection method that combines wavelet synchrosqueezed transform (SST) and random under-sampling boosting (RUSBoost). SST is a time-frequency analysis method suitable for extracting features of spindle waveforms. RUSBoost is a framework for coping with the imbalanced data problem. The proposed SST-RUS can deal with the imbalanced data in spindle detection and does not require threshold tuning because RUSBoost uses majority voting of weak classifiers for discrimination. The performance of SST-RUS was validated using an open-access database called the Montreal archives of sleep studies cohort 1 (MASS-C1), which showed an F-measure of 0.70 with a sensitivity of 76.9% and a positive predictive value of 61.2%. The proposed method can reduce the burden of PSG scoring.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Even though sympathetic dominance during the daytime period is well known, currently, scarce data exist on autonomic nervous system (ANS) regulation during sleep in pediatric obesity. We aimed to evaluate sleep cardiac ANS regulation in normal-weight (NW) and overweight and obese (OW) adolescents. PATIENTS/METHODS In this study, 60 healthy adolescents (15.7 ± 0.7 years) belonging to a birth cohort since infancy were classified based on body mass index percentiles criteria as: OW (N = 27) or NW (N = 33). Sleep was evaluated by polysomnography (PSG) during two consecutive in-lab overnight sessions. Non-rapid eye movement (non-REM) sleep stages (stages 1, 2, and slow-wave sleep [SWS]), rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, and wakefulness (Wake) were scored. R-waves were detected automatically in the electrocardiographic (ECG) signal. An all-night heart rate variability analysis was conducted in the ECG signal, with several time- and frequency-domain measures calculated for each sleep-wake stage. Sleep time was divided into thirds (T1, T2, T3). The analysis was performed using a mixed-effects linear regression model. RESULTS Sleep organization was comparable except for reduced REM sleep percentage in the OW group (p < 0.04). Shorter R-R intervals were found for all sleep stages in the OW group; time-domain measured standard deviation of all R-R intervals (RRSD) was lower during stage 2, SWS and REM sleep (all p < 0.05). The square root of the mean of the sum of the squares of differences between adjacent R-R intervals (RMSSD) was also lower only during wake after sleep onset (WASO) in T1 and T3 (p < 0.05). The OW group had increased very low- and low-frequency (LF) power during WASO (in T1 and T2), and LF power during stage 2 and REM sleep (in T2). During WASO in the OW group, high-frequency (HF) power was lower (in T1 and T2), and LF/HF ratio was higher (in T2, p < 0.007). CONCLUSIONS Several sleep-stage-dependent changes in cardiac autonomic regulation characterized the OW group. As sleep-related ANS balance was disturbed in the absence of concomitant metabolic alterations in this sample of otherwise healthy OW adolescents, their relevance for pediatric obesity should be further explored throughout development.

Abstract
Sleep spindles are brief bursts of brain activity in the sigma frequency range (11–16 Hz) measured by electroencephalography (EEG) mostly during non-rapid eye movement (NREM) stage 2 sleep. These oscillations are of great biological and clinical interests because they potentially play an important role in identifying and characterizing the processes of various neurological disorders. Conventionally, sleep spindles are identified by expert sleep clinicians via visual inspection of EEG signals. The process is laborious and the results are inconsistent among different experts. To resolve the problem, numerous computerized methods have been developed to automate the process of sleep spindle identification. Still, the performance of these automated sleep spindle detection methods varies inconsistently from study to study. There are two reasons: (1) the lack of common benchmark databases, and (2) the lack of commonly accepted evaluation metrics. In this study, we focus on tackling the second problem by proposing to evaluate the performance of a spindle detector in a multi-objective optimization context and hypothesize that using the resultant Pareto fronts for deriving evaluation metrics will improve automatic sleep spindle detection. We use a popular multi-objective evolutionary algorithm (MOEA), the Strength Pareto Evolutionary Algorithm (SPEA2), to optimize six existing frequency-based sleep spindle detection algorithms. They include three Fourier, one continuous wavelet transform (CWT), and two Hilbert-Huang transform (HHT) based algorithms. We also explore three hybrid approaches. Trained and tested on open-access DREAMS and MASS databases, two new hybrid methods of combining Fourier with HHT algorithms show significant performance improvement with F1-scores of 0.726–0.737.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Common biological measurements are in the form of noisy convolutions of signals of interest with possibly unknown and transient blurring kernels. Examples include EEG and calcium imaging data. Thus, signal deconvolution of these measurements is crucial in understanding the underlying biological processes. The objective of this paper is to develop fast and stable solutions for signal deconvolution from noisy, blurred, and undersampled data, where the signals are in the form of discrete events distributed in time and space. METHODS We introduce compressible state-space models as a framework to model and estimate such discrete events. These state-space models admit abrupt changes in the states and have a convergent transition matrix, and are coupled with compressive linear measurements. We consider a dynamic compressive sensing optimization problem and develop a fast solution, using two nested expectation maximization algorithms, to jointly estimate the states as well as their transition matrices. Under suitable sparsity assumptions on the dynamics, we prove optimal stability guarantees for the recovery of the states and present a method for the identification of the underlying discrete events with precise confidence bounds. RESULTS We present simulation studies as well as application to calcium deconvolution and sleep spindle detection, which verify our theoretical results and show significant improvement over existing techniques. CONCLUSION Our results show that by explicitly modeling the dynamics of the underlying signals, it is possible to construct signal deconvolution solutions that are scalable, statistically robust, and achieve high temporal resolution. SIGNIFICANCE Our proposed methodology provides a framework for modeling and deconvolution of noisy, blurred, and undersampled measurements in a fast and stable fashion, with potential application to a wide range of biological data.

Abstract
Sleep spindles (SSs) are characteristic electroencephalographic (EEG) waveforms of sleep stages N2 and N3. One of the main problems associated with SS detection is the high number of false positives. In this paper we propose a new periodogram based on correntropy to detect SSs and enhance their characterization. Correntropy is a generalized correlation, under the information theoretic learning framework. A non-negative matrix factorization decomposition of correntropy allows us to obtain a new periodogram, which shows an improved resolution capability compared to the conventional power spectrum density. Preliminary results show that the proposed method obtained a sensitivity rate of 0.868 with a false positive rate of 0.121.

Abstract
Sleep spindle is a peculiar oscillatory brain pattern which has been associated with a number of sleep (isolation from exteroceptive stimuli, memory consolidation) and individual characteristics (intellectual quotient). Oddly enough, the definition of a spindle is both incomplete and restrictive. In consequence, there is no consensus about how to detect spindles. Visual scoring is cumbersome and user dependent. To analyze spindle activity in a more robust way, automatic sleep spindle detection methods are essential. Various algorithms were developed, depending on individual research interest, which hampers direct comparisons and meta-analyses. In this review, sleep spindle is first defined physically and topographically. From this general description, we tentatively extract the main characteristics to be detected and analyzed. A nonexhaustive list of automatic spindle detection methods is provided along with a description of their main processing principles. Finally, we propose a technique to assess the detection methods in a robust and comparable way.

Abstract
Sleep spindles are critical in characterizing sleep and have been associated with cognitive function and pathophysiological assessment. Typically, their detection relies on the subjective and time-consuming visual examination of electroencephalogram (EEG) signal(s) by experts, and has led to large inter-rater variability as a result of poor definition of sleep spindle characteristics. Hitherto, many algorithmic spindle detectors inherently make signal stationarity assumptions (e.g., Fourier transform-based approaches) which are inappropriate for EEG signals, and frequently rely on additional information which may not be readily available in many practical settings (e.g., more than one EEG channels, or prior hypnogram assessment). This study proposes a novel signal processing methodology relying solely on a single EEG channel, and provides objective, accurate means toward probabilistically assessing the presence of sleep spindles in EEG signals. We use the intuitively appealing continuous wavelet transform (CWT) with a Morlet basis function, identifying regions of interest where the power of the CWT coefficients corresponding to the frequencies of spindles (11-16 Hz) is large. The potential for assessing the signal segment as a spindle is refined using local weighted smoothing techniques. We evaluate our findings on two databases: the MASS database comprising 19 healthy controls and the DREAMS sleep spindle database comprising eight participants diagnosed with various sleep pathologies. We demonstrate that we can replicate the experts' sleep spindles assessment accurately in both databases (MASS database: sensitivity: 84%, specificity: 90%, false discovery rate 83%, DREAMS database: sensitivity: 76%, specificity: 92%, false discovery rate: 67%), outperforming six competing automatic sleep spindle detection algorithms in terms of correctly replicating the experts' assessment of detected spindles.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Epidemiological evidence shows an inverse relationship between sleep duration and overweight/obesity risk. However, there are few polysomnographic studies that relate the organization of sleep stages to pediatric overweight (OW). We compared sleep organization in otherwise healthy OW and normal-weight (NW) 10-year-old children. SUBJECTS Polysomnographic assessments were performed in 37 NW and 59 OW children drawn from a longitudinal study beginning in infancy. Weight and height were used to evaluate body mass index (BMI) according to international criteria. Non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep (stages N1, N2 and N3), rapid eye movement (REM) sleep (stage R) and wakefulness (stage W) were visually scored. Sleep parameters were compared in NW and OW groups for the whole sleep period time (SPT) and for each successive third of it using independent Student's t-tests or nonparametric tests. The relationship between BMI and sleep variables was evaluated by correlation analyses controlling for relevant covariates. RESULTS The groups were similar in timing of sleep onset and offset, and sleep period time. BMI was inversely related to total sleep time (TST) and sleep efficiency. OW children showed reduced TST, sleep efficiency and stage R amount, but higher stage W amount. In analysis by thirds of the SPT, the duration of stage N3 episodes was shorter in the first third and longer in the second third in OW children as compared with NW children. CONCLUSIONS Our results show reduced sleep amount and quality in otherwise healthy OW children. The lower stage R amount and changes involving stage N3 throughout the night suggest that OW in childhood is associated with modifications not only in sleep duration, but also in the ongoing night time patterns of NREM sleep and REM sleep stages.

Abstract
Sleep spindles are significant rhythmic transients present in the sleep electroencephalogram (EEG) of non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep. Automatic sleep spindle detection techniques are sought for the automation of sleep staging and the detailed study of sleep spindle patterns, of possible physiological significance. A deficiency of many of the available automatic detection techniques is their reliance on the amplitude level of the recorded EEG voltage values. In the present work, an automatic sleep spindle detection system that has been previously proposed, using a Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) Artificial Neural Network (ANN), was evaluated using a voltage amplitude normalization procedure, with the aim of making the performance of the ANN independent of the absolute voltage level of the individual subjects' recordings. The application of the normalization procedure led to a reduction in the false positive rate (FPR) as well as in the sensitivity. When the ANN was trained on a combination of data from healthy subjects, the reduction of FPR was from 42.6% to 19%, while the sensitivity of the ANN was kept at acceptable levels, i.e., 73.4% for the normalized procedure vs 84.6% for the non-normalized procedure.

Abstract
Sleep spindles are transient waveforms observed on the electroencephalogram (EEG) during the N2 stage of sleep. In this paper we evaluate the use of line length, an efficient and low-complexity time domain feature, for automatic detection of sleep spindles. We use this feature with a simple algorithm to detect spindles achieving sensitivity of 83.6% and specificity of 87.9%. We also present a comparison of these results with other spindle detection methods evaluated on the same dataset. Further, we implemented the algorithm on a MSP430 microcontroller achieving a power consumption of 56.7 μW. The overall detection performance, combined with the low power consumption show that line length could be a useful feature for detecting sleep spindles in wearable and resource-constrained systems.

Abstract
A methodology to detect sleep apnea/hypopnea events in the respiratory signals of polysomnographic recordings is presented. It applies empirical mode decomposition (EMD), Hilbert-Huang transform (HHT), fuzzy logic and signal preprocessing techniques for feature extraction, expert criteria and context analysis. EMD, HHT and fuzzy logic are used for artifact detection and preliminary detection of respiration signal zones with significant variations in the amplitude of the signal; feature extraction, expert criteria and context analysis are used to characterize and validate the respiratory events. An annotated database of 30 all-night polysomnographic recordings, acquired from 30 healthy ten-year-old children, was divided in a training set of 15 recordings (485 sleep apnea/hypopnea events), a validation set of five recordings (109 sleep apnea/hypopnea events), and a testing set of ten recordings (281 sleep apnea/hypopnea events). The overall detection performance on the testing data set was 89.7% sensitivity and 16.3% false-positive rate. The next step is to include discrimination among apneas, hypopneas and respiratory pauses.

Abstract
Hilbert-Huang transformation, wavelet transformation, and Fourier transformation are the principal time-frequency analysis methods. These transformations can be used to discuss the frequency characteristics of linear and stationary signals, the time-frequency features of linear and non-stationary signals, the time-frequency features of non-linear and non-stationary signals, respectively. The Hilbert-Huang transformation is a combination of empirical mode decomposition and Hilbert spectral analysis. The empirical mode decomposition uses the characteristics of signals to adaptively decompose them to several intrinsic mode functions. Hilbert transforms are then used to transform the intrinsic mode functions into instantaneous frequencies, to obtain the signal's time-frequency-energy distributions and features. Hilbert-Huang transformation-based time-frequency analysis can be applied to natural physical signals such as earthquake waves, winds, ocean acoustic signals, mechanical diagnosis signals, and biomedical signals. In previous studies, we examined Hilbert-Huang transformation-based time-frequency analysis of the electroencephalogram FPI signals of clinical alcoholics, and 'sharp I' wave-based Hilbert-Huang transformation time-frequency features. In this paper, we discuss the application of Hilbert-Huang transformation-based time-frequency analysis to biomedical signals, such as electroencephalogram, electrocardiogram signals, electrogastrogram recordings, and speech signals.

Abstract
On-chip implementation of Hilbert-Huang transform (HHT) has great impact to analyze the non-linear and non-stationary biomedical signals on wearable or implantable sensors for the real-time applications. Cubic spline interpolation (CSI) consumes the most computation in HHT, and is the key component for the HHT processor. In tradition, CSI in HHT is usually performed after the collection of a large window of signals, and the long latency violates the realtime requirement of the applications. In this work, we propose to keep processing the incoming signals on-line with small and overlapped data windows without sacrificing the interpolation accuracy. 58% multiplication and 73% division of CSI are saved after the data reuse between the data windows.

Abstract
We present an automated multiple-step tool to identify Rapid Eye Movements (REMs) in the polysomnogram, based on modeling expert criteria. It begins by identifying the polysomnogram segments compatible with REMs presence. On these segments, high-energy REMs are identified. Then, vicinity zones around those REMs are defined, and lesser-energy REMs are sought in these vicinities. This strategy has the advantage that it can detect lesser-energy REMs without increasing much the false positive detections. Signal processing, feature extraction, and fuzzy logic tools are used to achieve the goal. The tool was trained and validated on a database consisting of 20 all-night polysomnogram recordings (160 hr) of healthy ten-year-old children. Preliminary results on the validation set show 85.5% sensitivity and a false positive rate of 16.2%. Our tool works on complete polysomnogram recordings, without the need of preprocessing, prior knowledge of the hypnogram, or noise-free segments selection.

Abstract
Sleep spindles are transient waveforms found in the electroencephalogram (EEG) of non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep. Sleep spindles are used for the classification of sleep stages and have been studied in the context of various psychiatric and neurological disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD) and the so-called Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI), which is considered to be a transitional stage between normal aging and dementia. The visual processing of whole-night sleep EEG recordings is tedious. Therefore, various techniques have been proposed for automatically detecting sleep spindles. In the present work an automatic sleep spindle detection system, that has been previously proposed, using a Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) Artificial Neural Network (ANN), is evaluated in detecting spindles of both healthy controls, as well as MCI and AD patients. An investigation is carried also concerning the visual detection process, taking into consideration the feedback information provided by the automatic detection system. Results indicate that the sensitivity of the detector was 81.4%, 62.2%, and 83.3% and the false positive rate was 34%, 11.5%, and 33.3%, for the control, MCI, and AD groups, respectively. The visual detection process had a sensitivity rate ranging from 46.5% to 60% and a false positive rate ranging from 4.8% to 19.2%.

Abstract
Although the spontaneous brain rhythms of sleep have commanded much recent interest, their detection and analysis remains suboptimal. In this paper, we develop a data-driven Bayesian algorithm for sleep spindle detection on the electroencephalography (EEG). The algorithm exploits the Karhunen-Loève transform and Bayesian hypothesis testing to produce the instantaneous probability of a spindle's presence with maximal resolution. In addition to possessing flexibility, transparency, and scalability, this algorithm could perform at levels superior to standard methods for EEG event detection.
