arXiv:2608. 00943v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Automated sleep staging assigns discrete stage labels to successive time epochs throughout an overnight recording; conventionally each window spans at least 30 seconds, reflecting the minimum temporal resolution of the clinical scoring standard.

NanoSleep is a compact hybrid temporal convolutional network designed for single‑channel EEG sleep stage classification. It integrates a learnable Sinc‑convolutional front end, dual‑branch feature extraction for multi‑scale temporal and spectral representations, a gated dilated temporal convolutional backbone with channel recalibration, and a conditional random field for sequence‑level decoding. Evaluated on Sleep‑EDF and Sleep‑EDF‑Expanded datasets, NanoSleep consistently outperforms six baseline methods and demonstrates that each major component contributes to its performance.

NeuroAtlas is the largest EEG benchmark to date, comprising 42 datasets and 260,000 hours of clinical EEG data across epilepsy, sleep medicine, brain age estimation, and brain‑computer interfaces. The study evaluates foundation models (FMs) for EEG against supervised baselines and generic time‑series FMs, finding that EEG‑specific FMs do not consistently outperform generic ones. It also demonstrates that standard machine‑learning metrics are inadequate for clinical relevance, advocating for task‑specific measures such as event‑level decision quality, hypnogram features, and brain‑age gap.

NanoSleep is a compact hybrid temporal convolutional network designed for single‑channel EEG sleep stage classification. It integrates a learnable Sinc‑convolutional front end, dual‑branch feature extraction combining multi‑scale temporal and spectral representations, a gated dilated temporal convolutional backbone with channel recalibration, and a conditional random field for sequence decoding. Evaluated on Sleep‑EDF datasets, NanoSleep consistently outperforms six baseline methods, with ablation studies confirming the contribution of each component.
The study compares six state‑of‑the‑art sleep‑staging foundation models on the MESA polysomnography dataset under three signal conditions: EEG only, ECG only, and EEG+ECG. Results show that EEG alone yields the highest accuracy (BIOT macro‑F1 = 0.7237), while switching to ECG alone incurs a consistent accuracy loss of about 0.35 macro‑F1 and reduces data rate to one‑third. Adding ECG to EEG offers little benefit for most models, indicating that EEG carries most of the sleep‑staging signal and that wearable‑compatible ECG alone is a viable but less accurate alternative.
