Abstract :
Sleep science and respiratory engineering as medical subspecialties and research areas grew up side-by-side with biomedical engineering. The formation of EMBS in the 1950´s and the discovery of REM sleep in the 1950´s led to parallel development and interaction of sleep and biomedical engineering in diagnostics and therapeutics.
