Estimation of sleep stages in a healthy adult population from optical plethysmography and accelerometer signals.

abstract：:Stroke is a major cause of disability within the western world. About 20% of strokes are a consequence of atheromatous narrowing of the origin of the internal carotid artery. Carotid endarterectomy has been shown to be an effective treatment for those with symptomatic and severe stenosis, provided the risk of death an...
