| Summary: | Automated sleep staging is essential to assess sleep quality and treat sleep disorders, so the issue of electroencephalography (EEG)-based sleep staging has gained extensive research interests. However, the following difficulties exist in this issue: 1) how to effectively learn the intrinsic features of salient waves from single-channel EEG signals; 2) how to learn and capture the useful information of sleep stage transition rules; 3) how to address the class imbalance problem of sleep stages. To handle these problems in sleep staging, we propose a novel method named SleepFC. This method comprises convolutional feature pyramid network (CFPN), cross-scale temporal context learning (CSTCL), and class adaptive fine-tuning loss function (CAFTLF) based classification network. CFPN learns the multi-scale features from salient waves of EEG signals. CSTCL extracts the informative multi-scale transition rules between sleep stages. CAFTLF-based classification network handles the class imbalance problem. Extensive experiments on three public benchmark datasets demonstrate the superiority of SleepFC over the state-of-the-art approaches. Particularly, SleepFC has a significant performance advantage in recognizing the N1 sleep stage, which is challenging to distinguish. |
