Learning transferable human physiology from two million hours of sleep with SleepFM-2

SleepFM-2 is a foundation model trained on 282,511 polysomnography recordings, covering over two million hours of multimodal sleep physiology. It outperforms its predecessor in disease prediction, sleep scoring, and event detection, and its representation improves performance across diverse tasks—including wearable sensing, subjective sleep reports, and transfer to other EEG modalities. When combined with age, sex, and BMI, the model meets stringent discrimination criteria for 215 EHR phenotypes, adding reproducible information beyond demographics for 155 of them.

Comparative Analysis of State-of-the-Art Foundation Models for Sleep Analysis Under Channel Reduction

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.

Omni-Sleep: A Sleep Foundation Model via Hierarchical Contrastive Learning of CNS-ANS Dynamics

arXiv:2607. 07720v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Sleep physiology arises from the coordinated dynamics of the central nervous system (CNS) and autonomic nervous system (ANS), as reflected by multimodal polysomnography signals including EEG, EOG, EMG, ECG, and respiration.

StageGuard: Physiologically Constrained Sleep Staging

arXiv:2607. 23284v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Automated sleep staging is increasingly used in large-scale studies to derive sleep-architecture endpoints: total sleep time, REM latency, sleep efficiency, and bout-duration statistics.
