INTRODUCTIONWe investigated whether sleep features from multi-night, at-home in-ear EEG could distinguish mild cognitive impairment (MCI) from cognitively normal (CN) older adults, independent of demographic confounds. METHODSForty-three older adults (24 MCI, 19 CN) completed 361 overnight in-ear EEG recordings at home (4.44 {+/-} 2.29 nights per participant). Deep learning-derived embeddings were compared to bandpower features. We controlled for age and sex to identify sleep-specific features of MCI beyond demography. RESULTSDeep embeddings outperformed bandpower features (F1: 0.76 vs. 0.67) in classifying MCI from CN. Multi-night aggregation improved AUROC from 0.61 to 0.77, reduced within-subject variability 1.6-fold, and enhanced group separability based on Cohens d improving from 0.65 to 0.96. While some features correlated with age, MCI discrimination remained significant after controlling for demographics. DISCUSSIONMulti-night in-ear EEG captures sleep features that reliably distinguish MCI from CN individuals beyond age-related effects, offering a scalable approach for at-home sleep monitoring.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
