1. A system for determining the occurrence of respiratory events, comprising:

  • a plurality of electrodes positionable at frontal locations on a person'"'"'s forehead to sense bioelectric signals;

    a measurement device for measuring respiratory flow of the person;

    a blood oximeter device for measuring a blood oxygen saturation of the person; and

    a processing unit coupled to the plurality of electrodes, the flow measurement device and the blood oximeter device, wherein the processing unit is configured to determine a sleep state of the person based on the bioelectric signals, to determine the occurrence of an apnea event based on the sleep state and the respiratory flow and to determine the occurrence of a hypopnea event based on the respiratory flow, the sleep state of the person and the blood oxygen saturation.
