Wavelet analysis for detection of phasic electromyographic activity in sleep : of mother wavelet and dimensionality reduction

• Phasic electromyographic (EMG) activity during sleep is characterized by brief muscle twitches (duration 100-500. ms, amplitude four times background activity). High rates of such activity may have clinical relevance. This paper presents wavelet (WT) analyses to detect phasic EMG, examining both Symlet and Daubechies approaches. Feature extraction included 1. s epoch processing with 24 WT-based features and dimensionality reduction involved comparing two techniques: principal component analysis and a feature/variable selection algorithm. Classification was conducted using a linear classifier. Valid automated detection was obtained in comparison to expert human judgment with high (>90%) classification performance for 11/12 datasets
