STAGES ground-truth hypnogram

Hi, Thank you for your every great contribution!

I would like to use STAGES dataset, especially hypnogram labels, which are recorded as .csv files (for example, stages/files/original/STAGES PSGs/ STNF/STNF00001.csv).

My question is whether those .csv files were scored by sleep experts or the results from the automatic scoring algorithm.

I also tried to find some information about it, but I couldn't find any clear description.

Can you help me with this issue?

Thank you

Thanks for checking out the site. The records were scored by trained sleep clinic staff members. Someone emailed with a similar question recently. Here's my response:

Thanks for using the site. Yes, the STAGES PSGs were manually scored. The CSV annotation files include sleep staging.

The MOP (https://sleepdata.org/datasets/stages/files/documentation/STAGES%20MOP%202018-08-09.pdf) contains this bit:

The PSGs were conducted using each site’s clinic protocols, and I assume likewise for the subsequent scoring. We didn’t receive detailed information about the sleep centers or scoring staff, but my presumption is that all the sleep centers were AASM-accredited.

Best,

Mike
