SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MONITORING BEHAVIOR DURING SLEEP ONSET

摘要

A system and method are provided for monitoring subject behavior during sleep onset. In some aspects, a system includes one or more sensors configured to acquire behavioral data from a subject using input provided during sleep onset. The system also includes a processor programmed to at least assemble a time-series of behavioral responses using the behavioral data acquired using the one or more sensors, and estimate an instantaneous probability of response using the time-series of behavioral responses. The processor is also programmed to generate a statistical model of wakefulness using the instantaneous probability of response, and estimate, using the model, a probability indicative of a degree to which the subject is awake at each point in time during the sleep onset process. The processor is further configured to generate a report indicative of sleep onset in the subject. The system also includes an output for displaying the report.
