In this paper, we introduce a two-stage procedure based on artificial neural networks for the automatic recognition of sleep spindles (SSs) in a multi-channel electroencephalographic signal. In the first stage, a discrete perceptron is used to eliminate definite non-SSs. The pre-classification done...
