- Sleep is a period of rest that is essential for functional learning ability, mental health, and even the performance of normal activities. Insomnia, sleep apnea, and restless legs are all examples of sleep-related issues that are growing more widespread. When appropriately analyzed, the recording of bio-electric signals, such as the Electroencephalogram, can tell how well we sleep. Improved analyses are possible due to recent improvements in machine learning and feature extraction, and they are commonly referred to as automatic sleep analysis to distinguish them from sleep data analysis by a human sleep expert. This study outlines a Systematic Literature Review and the results it provided to assess the present state-of-the-art in automatic analysis of sleep data. A search string was organized according to the PICO (Population, Intervention, Comparison, and Outcome) strategy in order to determine what machine learning and feature extraction approaches are used to generate an Automatic Sleep Scoring System. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine and Rechtschaffen & Kales are the two main scoring standards used in contemporary research, according to the report. Other types of sensors, such as Electrooculography, are employed in addition to Electroencephalography to automatically score sleep. Furthermore, the existing research on parameter tuning for machine learning models that was examined proved to be incomplete. Based on our findings, different sleep scoring standards, as well as numerous feature extraction and machine learning algorithms with parameter tuning, have a high potential for developing a reliable and robust automatic sleep scoring system for supporting physicians. In the context of the sleep scoring problem, there are evident gaps that need to be investigated in terms of automatic feature engineering techniques and parameter tuning in machine learning algorithms.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- An increasing problem in today's society is the spiraling number of people suffering from various sleep disorders. The research results presented in this paper support the use of a novel method that employs techniques from the classification of sleep disorders for more accurate scoring. Applying this novel method will assist researchers with better analyzing subject profiles for recommending prescriptions or to alleviate sleep disorders. In biomedical research, the use of animal models is required to experimentally test the safety and efficacy of a drug in the pre-clinical stage. We have developed a novel LSTM Recurrent Neural Network to process Pharmaco-EEG Profiles of rats to automatically score their sleep-wake stages. The results indicate improvements over the current methods; for the case of combined channels, the model accuracy improved by 1% and 3% in binary or multiclass classifications, respectively, to accuracies of 93% and 82%. In the case of using a single channel, binary and multiclass LSTM models for identifying rodent sleep stages using single or multiple electrode positions for binary or multiclass problems have not been evaluated in prior literature. The results reveal that single or combined channels, and binary or multiclass classification tasks, can be applied in the automatic sleep scoring of rodents.
