Automatic sleep EEG analysis using filter banks.

Filter banks analysis is an easy and quick computing way to implement time-scale methods, these being well suited for short events as well as for large waveforms detection tasks. We propose a non-uniform oversampled filter banks to analyze sleep EEG single channel signal, the different subbands matching the classical EEG rhythms. In order to preserve the temporal shapes information, filter banks are oversampled. Coupling the informations conveyed by the different outputs allow to perform an automatic hypnogram.
