Omni-Sleep: A Sleep Foundation Model via Hierarchical Contrastive Learning of CNS--ANS Dynamic

arXiv:2607.07720v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Sleep physiology arises from the coordinated dynamics of the central nervous system (CNS) and autonomic nervous system (ANS), as reflected by multimodal polysomnography signals including EEG, EOG, EMG, ECG, and respiration. However, existing sleep foundation models often fuse heterogeneous biosignals in a topology-agnostic manner, overlooking their physiological organization. We introduce Omni-Sleep, a sleep foundation model that uses the CNS/ANS partition as a physiological prior for topology-constrained representation learning. Omni-Sleep learn
Advances in AI, particularly foundation models and contrastive learning, are increasingly being applied to complex biological data, enabling more sophisticated physiological analyses.
This development indicates meaningful progress in applying AI to complex biological systems, moving towards more physiologically grounded AI models that could revolutionize diagnostics and treatment methods.
The approach to building sleep foundation models shifts from topology-agnostic data fusion to physiologically-informed, architecture-constrained learning, potentially leading to more accurate and interpretable models.
