PurposeThe main aim of this paper is to design a technique for improving the quality of EEG signal by removing artefacts which is obtained during acquisition. Initially, pre-processing is done on EEG signal for quality improvement. Then, by using wavelet transform (WT) feature extraction is done. The artefacts present in the EEG are removed using deep convLSTM. This deep convLSTM is trained by proposed fractional calculus based flower pollination optimisation algorithm.Design/methodology/approachNowadays' EEG signals play vital role in the field of neurophysiologic research. Brain activities of human can be analysed by using EEG signals. These signals are frequently affected by noise during acquisition and other external disturbances, which lead to degrade the signal quality. Denoising of EEG signals is necessary for the effective usage of signals in any application. This paper proposes a new technique named as flower pollination fractional calculus optimisation (FPFCO) algorithm for the removal of artefacts from EEG signal through deep learning scheme. FPFCO algorithm is the integration of flower pollination optimisation and fractional calculus which takes the advantages of both the flower pollination optimisation and fractional calculus which is used to train the deep convLSTM. The existed FPO algorithm is used for solution update through global and local pollinations. In this case, the fractional calculus (FC) method attempts to include the past solution by including the second order derivative. As a result, the suggested FPFCO algorithm approaches the best solution faster than the existing flower pollination optimization (FPO) method. Initially, 5 EEG signals are contaminated by artefacts such as EMG, EOG, EEG and random noise. These contaminated EEG signals are pre-processed to remove baseline and power line noises. Further, feature extraction is done by using WT and extracted features are applied to deep convLSTM, which is trained by proposed fractional calculus based flower pollination optimisation algorithm. FPFCO is used for the effective removal of artefacts from EEG signal. The proposed technique is compared with existing techniques in terms of SNR and MSE.FindingsThe proposed technique is compared with existing techniques in terms of SNR, RMSE and MSE.Originality/value100%.

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.

Brain computer interaction (BCI) based on EEG can help patients with limb dyskinesia to carry out daily life and rehabilitation training. However, due to the low signal-to-noise ratio and large individual differences, EEG feature extraction and classification have the problems of low accuracy and efficiency. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a recognition method of motor imagery EEG signal based on deep convolution network. This method firstly aims at the problem of low quality of EEG signal characteristic data, and uses short-time Fourier transform (STFT) and continuous Morlet wavelet transform (CMWT) to preprocess the collected experimental data sets based on time series characteristics. So as to obtain EEG signals that are distinct and have time-frequency characteristics. And based on the improved CNN network model to efficiently recognize EEG signals, to achieve high-quality EEG feature extraction and classification. Further improve the quality of EEG signal feature acquisition, and ensure the high accuracy and precision of EEG signal recognition. Finally, the proposed method is validated based on the BCI competiton dataset and laboratory measured data. Experimental results show that the accuracy of this method for EEG signal recognition is 0.9324, the precision is 0.9653, and the AUC is 0.9464. It shows good practicality and applicability.

Electroencephalograms (EEG) signals are of interest because of their relationship with physiological activities, allowing a description of motion, speaking, or thinking. Important research has been developed to take advantage of EEG using classification or predictor algorithms based on parameters that help to describe the signal behavior. Thus, great importance should be taken to feature extraction which is complicated for the Parameter Estimation (PE)–System Identification (SI) process. When based on an average approximation, nonstationary characteristics are presented. For PE the comparison of three forms of iterative-recursive uses of the Exponential Forgetting Factor (EFF) combined with a linear function to identify a synthetic stochastic signal is presented. The one with best results seen through the functional error is applied to approximate an EEG signal for a simple classification example, showing the effectiveness of our proposal.


Epilepsy is censorious neurological disorder in which nerve cell activity in the brain is disturbed causing recurrent seizures which are sudden, uncontrolled electrical discharges in the brain cell. In clinical treatment of epileptic patients seizure reorganization has much prominence. Hence in detecting the phenomenon of epilepsy Electroencephalogram (EEG) signal is widely used as it includes important carnal data of the brain. Though it is critical to analyze the EEG signal and identify the seizures. So feature extraction of EEG signal plays a vital role for epilepsy detection. This paper describes an worthwhile feature extraction based on variational mode decomposition (VMD) to identify epilepsy. The extracted features fed to ANN, KNN and SVM in order to classify epilepsy. The performance of the SVM classifier shows the better classification compared to existing methods.

Epilepsy is a disease that attacks the brain and results in seizures due to neurological disorders. The electrical activity of the brain recorded by the EEG signal test, because EEG test can be used to diagnose brain and mental diseases such as epilepsy. This study aims to identify whether a person has epilepsy or not along with the result of accurate, sensitivity, and precision rate using Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) and Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) method. The FFT is used to transform EEG signals from time-based into frequency-based and continued with feature extraction to take characteristics from each filtering signal using the median, mean, and standard deviations of each EEG signal. The results of the feature extraction used for input on the category process based on characteristics data (classification) using ANFIS. EEG signal data is obtained from epilepsy center online database of Bonn University, German. The results of the EEG signal classification system using ANFIS with two classes (Normal-Epilepsy) states accuracy, sensitivity, and precision of 100%. The classification systems with three class division (Normal-Not Seizure Epilepsy-Epilepsy) resulted in an accuracy of 89.33% sensitivity of 89.37% and precision of 89.33%.


A very small amplitude (μV) of the electroencephalography (EEG) signal is infected by diverse artifacts. These artifacts have an effect on the distinctiveness of the signal because of which medical psychoanalysis and data retrieval is difficult. Therefore, EEG signals are initially preprocessed to eliminate the artifacts to produce signals that can serve as a base for further processing and analysis. Different filters are implemented to eliminate the artifacts present in the EEG signal. Recent research shows that window technique Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filter is usually used. In this paper, digital Infinite Impulse Response (IIR) filter and different Finite Impulse Response (FIR) window filters (Hanning, Hamming, Kaiser, Blackman) of various orders are implemented to eradicate the random noise added to EEG signals. Their performance analysis has been done in Matlab (R2016a) by calculating the mean square error, mean absolute error, signal to noise ratio, peak signal to noise ratio and cross-correlation. The results show that Kaiser Window based finite impulse response filter outperforms in removing the noise from the electroencephalogram signal. This research focuses on eradicating random noise in electroencephalogram signals but this approach will be extended to a different source of electroencephalogram contamination.
