要点
- The study finds that deep learning models for single-channel EEG sleep staging perform poorly when generalized from healthy subjects to clinical populations with disrupted sleep, using Grad-CAM to interpret failures.
- It introduces iSLEEPS, a newly clinically annotated ischemic stroke dataset (intended for public release) and evaluates a SE-ResNet plus bidirectional LSTM pipeline for automatic staging.
- Expert-supported attention/interpretation visualizations indicate the model often relies on EEG regions that are physiologically uninformative in patient data.
- Statistical and computational analyses show significant differences in sleep architecture between healthy and ischemic stroke cohorts, implying the need for subject-aware or disease-specific approaches.
- The authors argue that clinical validation is necessary before deploying EEG sleep staging models in real-world, comorbid settings such as stroke.
