Abstract

Attempting to describe the methods of visually analysing human sleep at a time when so many sophisticated high performance automatic systems of analysis are being developed may seem more like the work of a palaeontologist than a physiologist. Nevertheless, visual analysis will continue to be an indispensable tool for some time to come, if only to serve as a basis for verifying the analyses produced by computerised methods.
