Abstract :
The characteristics of EEG during sleep apnea, which has a risk factor for sudden infant death, are analyzed using an FFT to analyze the overlap and divided EEG signals. The EEGs of newborns are analyzed in the steady state and during sleep apnea. It is shown that it is possible to predict sleep apnea several minutes before it occurs and provide warning.<>
