Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
To diagnose sleep apnea a sleep test is done to measure brainwaves, heartbeat and breathing.
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Polysomnography, known as a sleep study, is a test used to diagnose sleep disorders. Polysomnography records your brain waves, the oxygen level in your blood, and your heart rate and breathing during sleep. It also measures eye and leg movements.

Detailed explanation-2: -Tests to detect sleep apnea include: Nocturnal polysomnography. During this test, you’re hooked up to equipment that monitors your heart, lung and brain activity, breathing patterns, arm and leg movements, and blood oxygen levels while you sleep. Home sleep tests.

Detailed explanation-3: -A home sleep apnea test is a very simplified breathing monitor that tracks your breathing, oxygen levels, and breathing effort while worn. It does not fully capture what is monitored with an overnight sleep study. Overnight sleep studies give a more thorough assessment of sleep issues.

Detailed explanation-4: -Electroencephalogram (EEG) signal analysis plays an important role for detecting sleep apnea events. In this research work, a method is proposed on the basis of inter-band energy ratio features obtained from multi-band EEG signals for subject-specific classification of sleep apnea and non-apnea events.
