In this paper it is aimed to classify sleep apnea syndrome (SAS) by using discrete wavelet transforms (DWT) and an artificial neural network (ANN). The abdominal and thoracic respiration signals are separated into spectral components by using multi-resolution DWT. Then the energy of these spectral components are applied to the inputs of the ANN. The neural network was configured to give three outputs to classify the SAS situation of the subject.
