Deep Learning Models Show Promise for Sleep Apnea Classification via EEG

Researchers have developed deep learning models to classify sleep apnea from electroencephalogram (EEG) signals, aiming to reduce the resource-intensive nature of traditional polysomnography. The study compared various architectures, including Vision Transformers and Graph Attention Networks, using different signal representations like raw temporal data, spectrograms, and topological data analysis features. A Vision Transformer model trained on topological data analysis features achieved the highest test AUC of 0.750 on a dataset of 575 pediatric subjects, demonstrating the potential for automated screening while noting challenges for clinical deployment.
