An assemblage of relay‐operated, commercially available programming modules is described. It is capable of discriminating among the states of vigilance wakefulness (W): high‐voltage, slow‐wave sleep (HVS); and low‐voltage, fast‐wave sleep (LVF) and it requires information from only the nuchal electromyogram (EMG) and the electrooculogram (EOG).
