Epilepsy is the most common form of neurological disease. Patients with epilepsy may experience seizures of a certain duration with or without provocation. Epilepsy analysis can be done with an electroencephalogram (EEG) examination. Observation of qualitative EEG signals generates high cost and often confuses due to the nature of the non-linear EEG signal and noise. In this study, we proposed an EEG signal processing system for EEG seizure detection. The signal dynamics approach to normal and seizure signals' characterization became the main focus of this study. Spectral Entropy (SpecEn) and fractal analysis are used to estimate the EEG signal dynamics and used as feature sets. The proposed method is validated using a public EEG dataset, which included preictal, ictal, and interictal stages using the Naïve Bayes classifier. The test results showed that the proposed method is able to generate an ictal detection accuracy of up to 100%. It is hoped that the proposed method can be considered in the detection of seizure signals on the long-term EEG recording. Thus it can simplify the diagnosis of epilepsy.

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.

As a common brain disease, epilepsy is rapidly increasing in terms of the number of patients. Long-term repeated sudden seizures seriously affect the physical and mental health of patients. Epileptic electroencephalogram (EEG) signals are an effective tool in the hands of clinicians for diagnosing epilepsy, and how to use computer technology to automatically analyze and detect epileptic EEG signals has become very meaningful. This article proposes a method for effectively identifying epileptic EEGs for further diagnosis of epilepsy. The traditional modeling method default is to train on training samples and test samples that obey the same distribution, which usually does not match the actual situation. Therefore, a transfer learning (TL) mechanism is introduced to a classical radial basis function neural network (RBFNN). Considering the limited stability of a single classifier, this article introduces an integration strategy and proposes an integrated transfer RBFNN (ITRBFNN) algorithm. Experimental results of EEG signal recognition for epilepsy show that the algorithm has better adaptability of scene transfer and stability.

It is a significant issue to accurately and quickly extract brain evoked potentials under strong noise in the research of brain-computer interface technology. Considering the non-stationary and nonlinearity of the electroencephalogram (EEG) signal, the method of wavelet transform is adopted to extract P300 feature from visual, auditory and visual-auditory evoked EEG signal. Firstly, the imperative pretreatment to EEG acquisition signals was performed. Secondly, respectivly obtained approximate and detail coefficients of each layer, by decomposing the pretreated signals for five layers using wavelet transform. Finally, the approximate coefficients of the fifth layer were reconstructed to extract P300 feature. The results have shown that the method can effectively extract the P300 feature under the different visual-auditory stimulation modes and lay a foundation for processing visual-auditory evoked EEG signals under the different mental tasks.

Template matching is an approach for signal pattern recognition, often used for biomedical signals including electroencephalogram (EEG). Since EEG is often severely contaminated by various physiological or pathological artifacts, identification and rejection of these artifacts with improved template matching algorithms would enhance the overall quality of EEG signals. In this paper, we propose a novel approach to improve the accuracy of conventional template matching methods by adopting the dynamic positional warping (DPW) technique, developed recently for handwriting pattern analysis. To validate the feasibility and superiority of the proposed method, eye-blink artifacts in the EEG signals were detected, and the results were then compared to those from conventional methods. DPW was found to outperform the conventional methods in terms of artifact detection accuracy, demonstrating the power of DPW in identifying specific one-dimensional data patterns.

A wireless portable electroencephalogram (EEG) recording system for animals was designed, manufactured and then tested in rats. The system basically consisted of four modules: 1) EEG collecting module with the wireless transmitter and receiver (designed by NRF24LE1), 2) filter bank consisting of pre-amplifier, band pass filter and 50Hz trapper, 3) power management module and 4) display interface for showing EEG signals. The EEG data were modulated firstly and emitted by the wireless transmitter after being amplified and filtered. The receiver demodulated and displayed the signals in voltage through serial port. The system was designed as surface mount devices (SMD) with small size (20mm×25mm×3mm) and light weight (4g), and was fabricated of electronic components that were commercially available. The test results indicated that in given environment the system could stably record more than 8 hours and transmit EEG signals over a distance of 20m. Our system showed the features of small size, low power consumption and high accuracy which were suitable for EEG telemetry in rats.


scholarly journals EEG Signal Discrimination using Non-linear Dynamics in the EMD Domain S. M. Shafiul Alam,S. M. Shafiul Alam,Aurangozeb, and Syed TarekShahriar Abstract—An EMD-chaos based approach is proposed todiscriminate EEG signals corresponding to healthy persons,and epileptic patients during seizure-free intervals and seizureattacks. An electroencephalogram (EEG) is first empiricallydecomposed to intrinsic mode functions (IMFs). The nonlineardynamics of these IMFs are quantified in terms of the largestLyapunov exponent (LLE) and correlation dimension (CD).This chaotic analysis in EMD domain is applied to a large groupof EEG signals corresponding to healthy persons as well asepileptic patients (both with and without seizure attacks). It isshown that the values of the obtained LLE and CD exhibitfeatures by which EEG for seizure attacks can be clearlydistinguished from other EEG signals in the EMD domain.Thus, the proposed approach may aid researchers in developingeffective techniques to predict seizure activities. Index Terms—Electroencephalogram (EEG), empiricalmode decomposition (EMD), largest Lyapunov exponent (LLE),correlation dimension (CD), epileptic seizures.

In this work, we developed a novel system to detect the braking intention of drivers in emergency situations using electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. The system acquired eight-channel EEG and motion-sensing data from a custom-designed EEG headset during simulated driving. A novel method for accurately labeling the training data during an extremely short period after the onset of an emergency stimulus was introduced. Two types of features, including EEG band power-based and autoregressive (AR)-based, were investigated. It turned out that the AR-based feature in combination with artificial neural network classifier provided better detection accuracy of the system. Experimental results for ten subjects indicated that the proposed system could detect the emergency braking intention approximately 600 ms before the onset of the executed braking event, with high accuracy of 91%. Thus, the proposed system demonstrated the feasibility of developing a brain-controlled vehicle for real-world applications.

A neurological abnormality in the brain that manifests as a seizure is the prime risk of epilepsy. The earlier and accurate detection of the epileptic seizure is the foremost task for the diagnosis of epilepsy. In this chapter, a nonlinear deep neural network is used for seizure classification. The proposed network is based on the autoencoder that significantly explores the non-linear dynamics of the electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. It involves the traditional deep neural domain expertise to extract the features from the raw data in order to fit a deep neural network-based learning model and predicts the class of the unknown seizures. The EEG signals are subjected to an autoencoder-based neural network that unintendedly extracts the significant attributes that are applied to the softmax classifier. The achieved classification accuracy is up to 100% on different publicly available Bonn University database classes. The proposed algorithm is suitable for real-time implementation.
