Abstract
This study aims at measuring last-night sleep quality from electroencephalography (EEG). We design a sleep experiment to collect waking EEG signals from eight subjects under three different sleep conditions: 8 hours sleep, 6 hours sleep, and 4 hours sleep. We utilize three machine learning approaches, k-Nearest Neighbor (kNN), support vector machine (SVM), and discriminative graph regularized extreme learning machine (GELM), to classify extracted EEG features of power spectral density (PSD). The accuracies of these three classifiers without feature selection are 36.68%, 48.28%, 62.16%, respectively. By using minimal-redundancy-maximal-relevance (MRMR) algorithm and the brain topography, the classification accuracy of GELM with 9 features is improved largely and increased to 83.57% in average. To investigate critical frequency bands for measuring sleep quality, we examine the features of each band and observe their energy changing. The experimental results indicate that Gamma band is more relevant to measuring sleep quality.
