Researchers have developed Hypnos, a new foundation model for analyzing physiological signals, particularly sleep data. This model utilizes a next-token prediction objective with an auto-regressive RQ-Transformer, trained on eight different sensing modalities from over 20,000 overnight recordings. Hypnos generates embeddings that significantly outperform existing foundation models on various benchmarks, matching supervised baselines for sleep stage classification with substantially less labeled data and even generalizing to detect atrial fibrillation from ECG data.
