AI models for EEG interpretation and sleep staging

Sleep staging is the mature part of this field: published agreement with human scorers sits around 0.79 F1 and 85 percent, close to the ceiling set by inter-scorer disagreement, and the models are resilient to which channels you have.

EEG foundation models are newer and less settled. They produce embeddings across arbitrary montages, which is what makes them useful where your labelled set is small, and their reported accuracy is task-dependent by nature.

Every model on this page runs as part of a managed AI pipeline in our GPU clusters, with a dedicated private cluster in our cloud or an on-premise installation where medical governance requires it. Output is decision support for a qualified professional to review, not a diagnosis.

Input type — EEG and polysomnography signals

Models in this group take multi-channel biosignal recordings; the rate is recorded hours processed per hour of wall-clock time. Each table gives three hardware tiers — Minimum, the smallest configuration on which the model runs correctly; Medium, the usual production configuration; and High, a configuration sized for peak volume. The rate is what one server of that tier processes per hour. Use these figures for initial sizing only. Before production we benchmark your own data to confirm accuracy, latency, throughput and cost.

U-Sleep

Vendor: University of Copenhagen

What it does: stages a whole night at 0.79 F1 and 0.76 kappa across fifteen public cohorts — the level two human scorers agree at — and it is resilient to which channels you have.

Mean F1 about 0.79, Cohen kappa about 0.76 across 15 public sleep cohorts; resilient to channel choice (independent, npj Digital Medicine).

YASA

Vendor: UC Berkeley (Walker lab)

What it does: stages sleep from a single channel and also marks spindles, slow waves and artefact, at about 85 percent agreement with human scorers.

About 85 percent agreement with human scorers on held-out cohorts (independent, eLife 2021).

Choosing between them

For sleep, pick on channel availability and cohort: both leading models are cheap enough to run on every study. For everything else, the foundation models plus a small classifier of your own are the practical route, since no released model covers a clinical EEG label set end to end.

Accuracy figures above are those the producers and independent evaluations report, on their own test sets. They are a shortlist tool, not a prediction of what you will see. At the start of a project we run a short proof of concept on a sample of your own data, which replaces them with real figures — so the cost and the schedule for the full engagement are known before anything is committed.

From benchmark to production

Send a representative sample, your expected volume and your latency target for eeg interpretation and sleep staging. We benchmark the shortlisted models, recommend the lowest-cost GPU configuration that meets the target, and scale it from pilot capacity to a dedicated production cluster — with the cost per unit of work known before you commit.
