Abstract

A device and method for determining the severity of sleep apnea using electroencephalography and electromyography. The device includes a headgear having a head part sized to cover the head of a patient, at least at the locations where the measuring points C3 and C4 of the electroencephalography are situated, and a chin part, and wherein the head part has two electrodes for sensing EEG-signals of the electroencephalography at the electroencephalography points C3 and C4, and the chin part has at least one electrode for sensing the EMG-signal of the electromyography in the chin.
