The goal of this paper is to reconstruct three primitive shapes — rectangular cube, cone and cylinder — by analyzing electrical signals which are emitted by the brain. Three participants are asked to visualize these shapes. During visualization, a 14-channel neuroheadset is used to record electroencephalogram (EEG) signals along the scalp. The EEG recordings are then averaged to increase the signal to noise ratio which is referred to as an event related potential (ERP). Every possible subsequence of each ERP signal is analyzed in an attempt to determine a time series which is maximally representative of a particular class. These time series are referred to as shapelets and form the basis of our classification scheme. After implementing a voting technique for classification, an average classification accuracy of 60% is achieved. Compared to naive classification rate of 33%, we determine that the shapelets are in fact capturing features that are unique in the ERP representation of a unique class.

BACKGROUND: Analysis of the heart activity is one of the important areas of research in biomedical science and engineering. For this purpose, scientists analyze the activity of the heart in various conditions. Since the brain controls the heart’s activity, a relationship should exist among their activities. OBJECTIVE: In this research, for the first time the coupling between heart and brain activities was analyzed by information-based analysis. METHODS: Considering Shannon entropy as the indicator of the information of a system, we recorded electroencephalogram (EEG) and electrocardiogram (ECG) signals of 13 participants (7 M, 6 F, 18–22 years old) in different external stimulations (using pineapple, banana, vanilla, and lemon flavors as olfactory stimuli) and evaluated how the information of EEG signals and R-R time series (as heart rate variability (HRV)) are linked. RESULTS: The results indicate that the changes in the information of the R-R time series and EEG signals are strongly correlated (ρ=-0.9566). CONCLUSION: We conclude that heart and brain activities are related.

The recent advances in signal processing techniques have enabled the analysis of biosignals from brain so as to enhance the predictive capability of mental states. Biosignal analysis has been successfully used to characterise EEG signals of unipolar depression patients. Methods of characterisation of EEG signals and the use of nonlinear parameters are the major highlights of this chapter. Bipolar frontopolar-temporal EEG recordings obtained under eyes open and eyes closed conditions are used for the analysis. A discussion on the reliability of the use of energy distribution and Relative Wavelet Energy calculations for distinguishing unipolar depression patients from healthy controls is presented. The potential of the application of Wavelet Entropy to differentiate states of the brain under normal and pathologic condition is introduced. Details are given on the suitability of ascertaining certain nonlinear indices on the feature extraction, assuming the time series to be highly nonlinear. The assumption of nonlinearity of the measured EEG time series is further verified using surrogate analysis. The studies discussed in this chapter indicate lower values of nonlinear measures for patients. The higher values of signal energy associated with the delta bands of depression patients in the lower frequency range are regarded as a major characteristic indicative of a state of depression. The chapter concludes by presenting the important results in this direction that may lead to better insight on the brain activity and cognitive processes. These measures are hence posited to be potential biomarkers for the detection of depression.

Deep Learning Model

Deep learning (DL) methods have been used increasingly widely, such as in the fields of speech and image recognition. However, how to design an appropriate DL model to accurately and efficiently classify electroencephalogram (EEG) signals is still a challenge, mainly because EEG signals are characterized by significant differences between two different subjects or vary over time within a single subject, non-stability, strong randomness, low signal-to-noise ratio. SincNet is an efficient classifier for speaker recognition, but it has some drawbacks in dealing with EEG signals classification. In this paper, we improve and propose a SincNet-based classifier, SincNet-R, which consists of three convolutional layers, and three deep neural network (DNN) layers. We then make use of SincNet-R to test the classification accuracy and robustness by emotional EEG signals. The comparable results with original SincNet model and other traditional classifiers such as CNN, LSTM and SVM, show that our proposed SincNet-R model has higher classification accuracy and better algorithm robustness.

Controlling a robotic device by using human brain signals is an interesting and challenging task. The device may be complicated to control and the nonstationary nature of the brain signals provides for a rather unstable input. With the use of intelligent processing algorithms adapted to the task at hand, however, the performance can be increased. This paper introduces a shared control system that helps the subject in driving an intelligent wheelchair with a noninvasive brain interface. The subject's steering intentions are estimated from electroencephalogram (EEG) signals and passed through to the shared control system before being sent to the wheelchair motors. Experimental results show a possibility for significant improvement in the overall driving performance when using the shared control system compared to driving without it. These results have been obtained with 2 healthy subjects during their first day of training with the brain-actuated wheelchair.

One of the most important fields in clinical neurophysiology is an electroencephalogram (EEG). It is a test used to detect problems related to the brain electrical activity, and it can track and records patterns of brain waves. EEG continues to play an essential role in diagnosis and management of patients with epileptic seizure disorders. Nevertheless, the outcome of EEG as a tool for evaluating epileptic seizure is often interpreted as a noise rather than an ordered pattern. The mathematical modelling of EEG signals provides valuable data to neurologists, and is heavily utilized in the diagnosis and treatment of epilepsy. EEG signals during the seizure can be modeled as ordinary differential equation (ODE). In this study we will present an alternative form of ODE of EEG signals through the seizure.

Epileptic seizures are abnormal sudden discharges in the brain with signatures manifesting in the electroencephalogram (EEG) recordings by frequency changes and increased amplitudes. These changes, in this work, are captured through traditional cepstrum and the cepstrum-derived dynamic features. We compared the performance of the traditional baseline cepstral vector with that of the two composite vectors, the first including velocity cepstral coefficients and the second including velocity and acceleration cepstral coefficients, using probabilistic neural network in general epileptic seizure detection. The comparison is tried on seven different classification problems which encompass all the possible discriminations in the medical field related to epilepsy. In this study, it is found that the overall performance of both the composite vectors deteriorates compared to that of baseline cepstral vector.

Abstract Pattern Recognition is the most important part of the brain computer interface (BCI) system. More and more profound learning methods were applied in BCI to increase the overall quality of pattern recognition accuracy, especially in the BCI based on Electroencephalogram (EEG) signal. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) holds great promises, which has been extensively employed for feature classification in BCI. This paper will review the application of the CNN method in BCI based on various EEG signals.

To record all electrical activity of the human brain, an electroencephalogram (EEG) test using electrodes attached to the scalp is conducted. Analysis of EEG signals plays an important role in the diagnosis and treatment of brain diseases in the biomedical field. One of the brain diseases found in early ages include autism. Autistic behaviours are hard to distinguish, varying from mild impairments, to intensive interruption in daily life. The non-linear EEG signals arising from various lobes of the brain have been studied with the help of a robust technique called Detrended Fluctuation Analysis (DFA). Here, we study the EEG signals of Typically Developing (TD) and children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) using DFA. The Hurst exponents, which are the outputs of DFA, are used to find out the strength of self-similarity in the signals. Our analysis works towards analysing if DFA can be a helpful analysis for the early detection of ASD.

People are ingesting various information from different sense organs all the time to complete different cognitive tasks. The brain integrates and regulates this information. The two significant sensory channels for receiving external information are sight and hearing that have received extensive attention. This paper mainly studies the effect of music and visual-auditory stimulation on electroencephalogram (EEG) of happy emotion recognition based on a complex system. In the experiment, the presentation was used to prepare the experimental stimulation program, and the cognitive neuroscience experimental paradigm of EEG evoked by happy emotion pictures was established. Using 93 videos as natural stimuli, fMRI data were collected. Finally, the collected EEG signals were removed with the eye artifact and baseline drift, and the t-test was used to analyze the significant differences of different lead EEG data. Experimental data shows that, by adjusting the parameters of the convolutional neural network, the highest accuracy of the two-classification algorithm can reach 98.8%, and the average accuracy can reach 83.45%. The results show that the brain source under the combined visual and auditory stimulus is not a simple superposition of the brain source of the single visual and auditory stimulation, but a new interactive source is generated.
