EEG sleep-stage labels

Classify recorded sleep segments directly.

  1. Recorded signal segment
  2. Predict a sleep stage
  3. Review the sequence
Illustration of the proposed workflow.

A sleep-research pipeline could assign a defined stage to each recorded segment, then show the sequence for review. A language model does not need to write the stage name token by token.

Where the small model fits

A signal encoder and classification head return stage scores. Earlier heads or a small-model fallback could be compared while retaining the temporal context needed by the task.

What would need to work

Compare with a conventional sleep-stage classifier at matched quality. Split by participant and recording, measure mistakes between stages and total time. This is not an insomnia diagnosis or a claim that monitoring can safely omit parts of a recording.

Research proposal only. SkinDeep has no clinical model, patient-use demo or validated medical performance for this task.
