Manual/visual polysomnogram (psg) analysis is a standard and commonly implemented procedure utilized in the diagnosis and treatment of sleep related human pathologies. Current technological trends in psg analysis focus upon translating manual psg analysis into automated/computerized approaches. A necessary first step in establishing efficient automated human sleep analysis systems is the development of reliable pre-processing tools to discriminate between outlier/artifact instances and data of interest. This paper investigates the application of an automated approach, using the generalized singular value decomposition algorithm, to compensate for specific psg artifacts.
