A neuro-fuzzy classifier (NFC) of sleep-wake states and stages has been developed for healthy infants of ages 6 mo and onward. The NFC takes five input patterns previously identified on 20-s epochs from polysomnographic recordings and assigns them to one out of five possible classes: Wakefulness, REM-Sleep, Non-REM Sleep Stage 1, Stage 2, and Stage 3-4. The definite criterion for a sleep state or stage to be established is duration of at least 1 min. The data set consisted of a total of 14 continuous recordings of naturally occurring naps (average duration: 143 +/- 39 min), corresponding to a total of 6021 epochs. They were divided in a training, a validation and a test set with 7, 2, and 5 recordings, respectively. During supervised training, the system determined the fuzzy concepts associated to the inputs and the rules required for performing the classification, extracting knowledge from the training set, and pruning nonrelevant rules. Results on an independent test set achieved 83.9 +/- 0.4% of expert agreement. The fuzzy rules obtained from the training examples without a priori information showed a high level of coincidence with the crisp rules stated by the experts, which are based on internationally accepted criteria. These results show that the NFC can be a valuable tool for implementing an automated sleep-wake classification system.
