ABSTRACT low proposed linear modeling system which has a long- lasting history in EEG analysis [3]. The models are A new algorithm for the detection of sleep mainly considered as a mathematical description of the spindles from human sleep EEG with surrogate signal and less as a biophysical model of the underlying data approach is presented. Surrogate data ap- neuronal mechanisms. proach is the state of the art technique for In 1985, Frannaszczua et al. [4] proposed a model to nonlinear spectral analysis. In this paper, by interpret linear models as damped harmonic oscillators developing autoregressive (AR) models on generating
