Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of sleep regulation technology, and in particular to a personalized sleep-aid regulation method and system that integrates multi-frequency features and closed-loop feedback. Background Technology

[0002] The inherent dynamic variability of EEG signals and the low signal-to-noise ratio in high-noise environments have long conflicted with the stable, precise, and real-time feedback required for personalized sleep aid regulation. This conflict has led to unstable effects of existing sleep aid devices, low user satisfaction, and has hindered the transition from general intervention to precise personalization.

[0003] The drawbacks of existing technologies are as follows: Traditional neurofeedback devices are based on fixed EEG frequency power ratios and induce relaxation through visual or auditory feedback. However, EEG signals are susceptible to noise (such as electromyography artifacts), and fixed thresholds cannot adapt to individual differences. Machine learning-driven sleep monitoring uses accelerometers or simple EEG sensors to analyze movement or coarse EEG patterns through machine learning models, infer sleep stages, and provide generalized feedback. However, accelerometers cannot capture EEG specificity, and the models have poor generalization. Clinical polysomnography uses multichannel physiological signals (EEG, EOG, EMG) combined with expert-annotated sleep stages to provide high-precision sleep assessment and manual feedback intervention. However, the devices are bulky, costly, and the feedback is not real-time, making them unsuitable for everyday home environments.
