Addressing the variations in electroencephalogram (EEG) and electrooculogram (EOG) signals across different sleep stages, this study introduces a transcranial focused ultrasound (tFUS) based multimodal feature fusion deep learning model (MFDL) for automated sleep staging. The proposed framework integrates two one-dimensional convolutional neural networks (1D-CNNs) to extract sleep-relevant features from EEG and EOG signals, followed by an adaptive feature fusion module that dynamically assigns weights based on feature significance. By enhancing discriminative features and suppressing irrelevant ones, the model generates a robust multimodal representation of sleep information. Furthermore, a bidirectional long short-term memory (Bi-LSTM) network captures temporal dependencies in sleep stage transitions, improving classification accuracy. The effectiveness of MFDL is validated on the publicly available Sleep-EDF dataset, achieving 94.1% accuracy, 88.2% Kappa coefficient, and 81.9% MF1 score. Notably, the recall rates for the challenging N1 and REM sleep stages are significantly enhanced to 64.6% and 93.5%, respectively.

Model divergence is another critical challenge where the local models trained on different clients, data may diverge significantly but making it difficult for the global model to converge. To identify the non-IID data, few federated learning models have been introduced as FedDis, FedProx and FedAvg, but their accuracy is too low. To address the clients Non-IID data along with ensuring privacy, federated learning emerged with appropriate distribution mechanism is an effective solution.
