A system for computer-assisted encoding, tabulation and analysis of visually scored sleep data is presented. The main features of the system are: (1) The use of computer-readable optical scan sheets for direct encoding of the sleep data. This eliminates the need for a separate transcription and/or key-punching operation. (2) The development of a visually scored data base, organized by NREM and REM periods, which contains all items of visually scored data indexed by time and/or page of occurrence in the sleep record. The advantages of this new system are: (a) the low cost per night of operation; (b) the facilitation of analysis of cycle phenomena and testing of new hypotheses that would usually involve retabulation of the data; and (c) the facilitation of analysis of real-time correlates of visually scored sleep stages.
本文介绍了一种用于对视觉评分睡眠数据进行计算机辅助编码、制表和分析的系统。该系统的主要特点包括：（1）使用计算机可读的光学扫描表直接对睡眠数据进行编码。这消除了单独转录和/或按键打孔操作的需求。（2）开发了一个按非快速眼动（NREM）和快速眼动（REM）周期组织的视觉评分数据库，其中包含所有视觉评分数据项，这些数据项按睡眠记录中的时间和/或出现页面进行索引。这个新系统的优点是：（a）每晚运行成本低；（b）便于分析周期现象以及测试通常需要重新制表数据的新假设；（c）便于分析视觉评分睡眠阶段的实时相关性。
