Abstract

La présente invention concerne un procédé d'évaluation du sommeil chez un sujet et le soutien du traitement d'un patient souffrant d'un trouble mental sur la base de ladite évaluation. En particulier, la présente invention concerne un procédé d'évaluation objective du sommeil chez un sujet, le procédé d'évaluation comprenant une étape d'acquisition d'informations de sommeil après la détermination d'un stade de sommeil par traitement d'un signal d'onde cérébrale du sujet à l'aide d'un dispositif qui traite électriquement une activité bioélectrique acquise à partir d'une électrode fixée à la peau sur un os temporal, et une étape d'analyse des informations de sommeil consistant à évaluer le sommeil du sujet.
