K-complexes like spindles are hallmark patterns of stage 2 sleep. Due to correlation between these patterns and some diseases, it is necessary to develop algorithms to detect them. In this study, a new method is used to detect K-complexes automatically. 10 time-series and chaotic features were used in order to extract the K-complex waves from stage 2 sleep. To use the most effective features, feature space dimension is reduced with Sequential Forward Selection method. The reduced feature space is classified using Generalized Radial Basis Function Extreme Learning Machine (MELM-GRBF) algorithm. GRBFs make the modification of the RBF possible by adjusting a new parameter . We're applied this methodology to K-complex classification for the first time. The classifier gives noticeably better results compared to ELM-RBF method for sensitivity and accuracy .± . and . ± . , respectively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
