In recent years, several studies have shown the relationship between snoring and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). Besides time domain analysis of snoring signal, the spectral features and shapes of snores can be used to discriminate simple snorers and OSAS patients. In this study, we propose a method to classify simple snorers and OSAS patients based on spectral envelope estimation of snoring signals. The formant frequencies and corresponding bandwidths are computed for both group, and the variation and consistency of the formant distributions are computed. A total of 1400 snoring episodes from 7 simple snorer and 7 OSAS patients were analyzed. Significant differences are found in the formant frequencies of both groups. The results are discussed from the view point of patho-physiological aspect.

Spectral envelope analysis for simple snorers and obstructive sleep apnea patients Tikanmaya baǧli uyku apnesi̇ hastalari ve basi̇t horlayanlarda horlama sesleri̇ni̇n i̇zgesel zarf i̇ncelemesi̇ Çavuşoǧlu, Mustafa; Kamaşak, Mustafa; Eroǧul, Osman; Çiloğlu, Tolga; Serinağaoğlu Doğrusöz, Yeşim; Birkent, Hakan (2007-01-01) In recent years, several studies have shown the relationship between snoring and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). Instead of time domain analysis of snoring signal, the spectral features and shapes of snores have been found different in simple snorers and OSAS patients. In this study, we propose a method to differentiate simple snorers and OSAS patients based on spectral envelope estimation of snoring signals. Formant frequencies and bandwidths are computed for both groups and the variation and cons...
An efficient fast method of snore detection for sleep disorder investigation Çavuşoğlu, Mustafa; Serinağaoğlu Doğrusöz, Yeşim; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2007) Snores are breath sounds that most people produce during sleep and they are reported to be a risk factor for various sleep disorders, such as obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). Diagnosis of sleep disorders relies on the expertise of the clinician that inspects whole night polysomnography recordings. This inspection is time consuming and uncomfortable for the patient. There are surgical and therapeutic treatments. However, evaluation of the success of these methods also relies on subjective criteria an...
Leveraging Multimodal and Feature Selection Approaches to Improve Sleep Apnea Classification Performance Memiş, Gökhan; Sert, Mustafa; Yazıcı, Adnan (2017-05-15) Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a sleep disorder with long-term adverse effects such as cardiovascular diseases. However, clinical methods, such as polisomnograms, have high monitoring costs due to long waiting times and hence efficient computer-based methods are needed for diagnosing OSA. In this study, we propose a method based on feature selection of fused oxygen saturation and electrocardiogram signals for OSA classification. Specifically, we use Relieff feature selection algorithm to obtain robust fea...
Mobile sleep apnea detection and monitoring based on thermocouple and pulse oximeter sensors Demirkol Çakmak, Duygu; Eyüboğlu, Behçet Murat; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2018) Sleep apnea syndrome is becoming a prevalent disease for both adults and children. It is described as the cessation of breath for at least 10 seconds during sleep. Detecting sleep apnea is considered as a troublesome and time-consuming method, which requires the patients to stay one or more nights in dedicated sleep disorder rooms with sensors physically attached to their body. Undiagnosed, thereby untreated, sleep apnea patients are under high risk of hypertension, heart attack, accidental injuries through...
