The gold standard procedure for this approach is polysomnography (PSG), which classify the sleep stages based on Rechtschaffen and Kales (R-K) method. This method aside the advantages as high accuracy has however some disadvantages, among others time-consuming and uncomfortable for the patient procedure. Therefore, the development of further methods for the sleep classification in addition to PSG is a promising topic for the investigation and this work has as its aim the presentation of possible ways and goals for this development.}, language = {en} }
