Abstract

The development of sleep medication, computer technologies, and microelectronics in the past decade brought about the creation of a new class of instruments for the diagnostics of sleep disorders, i.e., computerized polysomnographic systems. The application of the IBM PC PENTIUM using the MS Windows system for software development and standard hardware and software allows a user to economically supplement the basic equipment of the instrument with novel advanced programs. The possibilities of the application of algorithms of the manual and automated methods of sleep analysis for research purposes are discussed.
