The Electroencephalogram (EEG) is the standard technique for investigating the brain’s electrical activity in different psychological and pathological states. Analysis of Electroencephalogram (EEG) signal is a challenging task by reason of the presence of different artifacts such as Ocular Artifacts (OA) and Electromyogram. Normally EEG signals falls in the frequency range of DC to 60 Hz and amplitude of 1-5 µv. Ocular artifacts do have the similar statistical properties of EEG signals, often interfere with EEG signal, thereby making the analysis of EEG signals more complex. In this research paper, removal of artifacts was done using wavelets (matlab coding) as well as using SIMULINK DWT and IDWT blocks and estimated the SNR. In the next stage the output of IDWT block was taken as input to Burg model and Yule walker model to estimate the power spectral density of EEG signal by setting the various parameters of the blocks. The implementation of denoising of EEG signal using SIMULINK DWT and IDWT blocks and estimation of power spectral density of denoised EEG signal using Burg model and Yule walker model was explained in detail in the paper under the methodology heading. In this research paper, the collected EEG signal is normalized and later linearly mixed with the normalized EOG signal resulting in a noisy EEG signal. This noisy EEG signal is decomposed to 4 levels by using different wavelets. This decomposition of EEG signals yields approximate and detail coefficients. Later different thresholding techniques were applied to detail coefficients and estimated the Signal to Noise Ratio of it and estimated the power spectral density of denoised EEG signal obtained from dB4 wavelet as it is providing better SNR than other wavelets mentioned in the results.

It is known that aging affects neuroplasticity. On the other hand, neuroplasticity can be studied by analyzing the electroencephalogram (EEG) signal. An important challenge in brain research is to study the variations of neuroplasticity during aging for patients suffering from epilepsy. This study investigates the variations of the complexity of EEG signal during aging for patients with epilepsy. For this purpose, we employed fractal dimension as an indicator of process complexity. We classified the subjects in different age groups and computed the fractal dimension of their EEG signals. Our investigations showed that as patients get older, their EEG signal will be more complex. The method of investigation that has been used in this study can be further employed to study the variations of EEG signal in case of other brain disorders during aging.

Eye state ID is a sort of basic time-arrangement grouping issue in which it is additionally a problem area in the late exploration. Electroencephalography (EEG) is broadly utilized in a vision state in order to recognize people perception form. Past examination was approved possibility of AI & measurable methodologies of EEG vision state arrangement. This research means to propose novel methodology for EEG vision state distinguishing proof utilizing Gradual Characteristic Learning (GCL) in light of neural organizations. GCL is a novel AI methodology which bit by bit imports and prepares includes individually. Past examinations have confirmed that such a methodology is appropriate for settling various example acknowledgment issues. Nonetheless, in these past works, little examination on GCL zeroed in its application to temporal-arrangement issues. Thusly, it is as yet unclear if GCL will be utilized for adapting the temporal-arrangement issues like EEG vision state characterization. Trial brings about this examination shows that, with appropriate element extraction and highlight requesting, GCL cannot just productively adapt to time-arrangement order issues, yet additionally display better grouping execution as far as characterization mistake rates in correlation with ordinary and some different methodologies. Vision state classification is performed and discussed with KNN classification and accuracy is enriched finally discussed the vision state classification with ensemble machine learning model.

Nowadays, biometric modalities have gained popularity in security systems. Nevertheless, the conventional commercial-grade biometric system addresses some issues. The biggest problem is that they can be imposed by artificial biometrics. The electroencephalogram (EEG) is a possible solution. It is nearly impossible to replicate because it is dependent on human mental activity. Several studies have already demonstrated a high level of accuracy. However, it requires a large number of sensors and time to collect the signal. This study proposed a biometric system using single-channel EEG recorded during resting eyes open (EO) conditions. A total of 45 EEG signals from 9 subjects were collected. The EEG signal was segmented into 5 second lengths. The alpha band was used in this study. Discrete wavelet transform (DWT) with Daubechies type 4 (db4) was employed to extract the alpha band. Power spectral density (PSD) was extracted from each segment as the main feature. Linear discriminant analysis (LDA) and support vector machine (SVM) were used to classify the EEG signal. The proposed method achieved 86% accuracy using LDA only from the third segment. Therefore, this study showed that it is possible to utilize single-channel EEG during a resting EO state in a biometric system.

Abstract Steady-state Visually Evoked Potential (SSVEP) based Electroencephalogram (EEG) signal is utilized in brain-computer interface paradigms, diagnosis of brain diseases, and measurement of the cognitive status of the human brain. However, various artifacts such as the Electrocardiogram (ECG), Electrooculogram (EOG), and Electromyogram (EMG) are present in the raw EEG signal, which adversely affect the EEG-based appliances. In this research, Adaptive Neuro-fuzzy Interface Systems (ANFIS) and Hilbert-Huang Transform (HHT) are primarily employed to remove the artifacts from EEG signals. This work proposes Adaptive Noise Cancellation (ANC) and ANFIS based methods for canceling EEG artifacts. A mathematical model of EEG with the aforementioned artifacts is determined to accomplish the research goal, and then those artifacts are eliminated based on their mathematical characteristics. ANC, ANFIS, and HHT algorithms are simulated on the MATLAB platform, and their performances are also justified by various error estimation criteria using hardware implementation.

This paper presents the classification of three mental tasks, using the EEG signal and simulating a real-time process, what is known as pseudo-online technique. The Bayesian classifier is used to recognize the mental tasks, the feature extraction uses the Power Spectral Density, and the Sammon map is used to visualize the class separation. The choice of the EEG channel and sampling frequency is based on the Kullback-Leibler symmetric divergence and a reclassification model is proposed to stabilize the classifications.

This work presents the HSS-Cognitive project, which is a Healthcare Smart System that can be applied in measuring the efficiency of any therapy where neuronal interaction gives a trace whether the therapy is efficient or not, using mathematical tools. The artificial intelligence of the project underlies in the understanding of brain signals or Electroencephalogram (EEG) by means of the determination of the Power Spectral Density (PSD) over all the EEG bands in order to estimate how efficient was a therapy. Our project HSS-Cognitive was applied, recording the EEG signals from two patients treated for 8 min in a dolphin tank, measuring their activity in five experiments and for 6 min measuring their activity in a pool without dolphin in four experiments. After applying our TEA (Therapeutic Efficiency Assessment) metric for patient 1, we found that this patient had gone from having relaxation states regardless of the dolphin to attention states when the dolphin was presented. For patient 2, we found that he had maintained attention states regardless of the dolphin, that is, the DAT (Dolphin Assisted Therapy) did not have a significant effect in this patient, perhaps because he had a surgery last year in order to remove a tumor, having impact on the DAT effectiveness. However, patient 2 presented the best efficiency when doing physical therapy led by a therapist in a pool without dolphins around him. According to our findings, we concluded that our Brain-Inspired Healthcare Smart System can be considered a reliable tool for measuring the efficiency of a dolphin-assisted therapy and not only for therapist or medical doctors but also for researchers in neurosciences.
