Optimal Kernel

Detecting epileptic seizure from EEG signals constitutes a challenging problem of significant importance. Combining adaptive optimal kernel time-frequency representation and visibility graph, we develop a novel method for detecting epileptic seizure from EEG signals. We construct complex networks from EEG signals recorded from healthy subjects and epilepsy patients. Then we employ clustering coefficient, clustering coefficient entropy and average degree to characterize the topological structure of the networks generated from different brain states. In addition, we combine energy deviation and network measures to recognize healthy subjects and epilepsy patients, and further distinguish brain states during seizure free interval and epileptic seizures. Three different experiments are designed to evaluate the performance of our method. The results suggest that our method allows a high-accurate classification of epileptiform EEG signals.

Mode Decomposition

The electrical activities of brain fluctuate frequently and can be analyzed using electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. We present a new method for classification of ictal and seizure-free intracranial EEG recordings. The proposed method uses the application of multivariate empirical mode decomposition (MEMD) algorithm combines with the Hilbert transform as the Hilbert-Huang transform (HHT) and analyzing spectral energy of the intrinsic mode function of the signal. EMD uses the characteristics of signals to adaptively decompose them to several intrinsic mode functions (IMFs). Hilbert transforms (HTs) are then used to transform the IMFs into instantaneous frequencies (IFs), to obtain the signals time-frequency-energy distributions. Classification of the EEG signal that is epileptic seizure exists or not has been done using support vector machine. The algorithm was tested in 6 intracranial channels EEG records acquired in 9 patients with refractory epilepsy and validated by the Epilepsy Center of the University Hospital of Freiburg. The experimental results show that the proposed method efficiently detects the presence of epileptic seizure in EEG signals and also showed a reasonable accuracy in detection.

This chapter addresses the analysis and quantification of electroencephalographic (EEG) and magnetoencephalographic (MEG) signals. Topics include characteristics of these signals and practical issues such as sampling, filtering, and artifact rejection. Basic concepts of analysis in time and frequency domains are presented, with attention to non-stationary signals focusing on time-frequency signal decomposition, analytic signal and Hilbert transform, wavelet transform, matching pursuit, blind source separation and independent component analysis, canonical correlation analysis, and empirical model decomposition. The behavior of these methods in denoising EEG signals is illustrated. Concepts of functional and effective connectivity are developed with emphasis on methods to estimate causality and phase and time delays using linear and nonlinear methods. Attention is given to Granger causality and methods inspired by this concept. A concrete example is provided to show how information processing methods can be combined in the detection and classification of transient events in EEG/MEG signals.
