Prediction of micro-sleeps based on EEG

At the Faculty of Transportation Sciences of the Czech Technical University, ongoing research focuses on understanding the relationship between brain activity and attention level (or vigilance). In a laboratory environment, clinical trials are performed to discover what occurs at the onset of sleep (so called micro-sleeps). A framework for analysis and prediction of micro-sleeps was developed in order to react appropriately in an automated way that is interrupting micro-sleeps and restoring fall vigilance. In the paper the framework was described and the results of testing with an in-depth overview of EEG and its application to the prediction of micro-sleeps.
