  ABSTRACT: Electroencephalogram (EEG) is one of the medical devices that used for sleep disorder detection. Sleep disorder such as Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS) often appears during sleep event. Since the OSAS patients have the difficulties to allow the airflow into the lung while inspiration, the EEG is applied to capture and record the brainwave of the patient. In this work, the Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) and Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition (EEMD) are used to process and analyze the accuracy and efficiency of the results. Both of these methods will decompose the EEG signal into a collection of Intrinsic Mode Function (IMF). In this paper, index orthogonality has been calculated to indicate the completeness of the decomposed signal with the original signal. The instantaneous frequency and Hilbert Spectrum based on both methods also employed by IMF to analyze and present the results in frequency-time distribution to determine the characteristic of the inherent properties of signal. Besides, Hilbert marginal spectrum has been applied to measure the total amplitude contribution from each frequency value. Finally, the results shown that the EEMD is better in solving mode mixing problem and better improvement over EMD method.
