    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Sleep Medicine

    Background:

    • Sleep stage detection is crucial for monitoring sleep quality and preventing accidents.
    • Current methods can be expensive or cumbersome.
    • A need exists for low-cost, accessible sleep monitoring solutions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and evaluate a real-time sleep detection system using a low-cost EEG headset.
    • To assess the system's effectiveness in identifying stage 1 sleep onset.
    • To explore the potential of this system in preventing sleep-related accidents.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized a "NeuroSky Mindset" EEG headset for real-time data acquisition.
    • Filtered electroencephalogram (EEG) signals into alpha and beta frequency bands.
    • Analyzed frequency band data to detect the onset of stage 1 sleep.

    Main Results:

    • Achieved an 81% effective rate in detecting stage 1 sleep onset.
    • All detected failures were false positives, indicating no instances of missed sleep onset.
    • The system successfully predicted and responded to pre-stage 1 sleep drowsiness.

    Conclusions:

    • A low-cost EEG system can effectively detect stage 1 sleep in real-time.
    • Early detection of drowsiness via this system may help mitigate sleep-related accidents.
    • This technology offers a promising, accessible approach to sleep monitoring.
