EEG signals aids in diagnosing various wave signals recorded by the activities of the brain. It also produces unavoidable artifacts, in the recording process. The purpose of this study therefore is to detect ictal and artefact signals, with the aim of reducing interpretation errors especially those related to the muscle which are quite difficult to distinguish. The data used are EEG signal recording results obtained from Rumah Sakit Universitas Airlangga. It consisted of two classes, namely ictal and muscle artefact. The signal decomposition method used is a wavelet transform, known as DWT. While the extraction feature utilized, consist of quartile, maximum, minimum, mean and standard deviation. This study also utilized the SVM with linear, polynomial, RBF and ELM (ESVM) kernels. Research results shows that the ESVM classification time is faster than the SVM and other kernels. However, the values of accuracy, sensitivity, specificity and AUC are not better.

Abstract Despite the development of two- and three-dimensional (2D&3D) technology, it has attracted the attention of researchers in recent years. This research is done to reveal the detailed effects of 2D in comparison with 3D technology on the human brain waves. The impact of 2D&3D video watching using electroencephalography (EEG) brain signals is studied. A group of eight healthy volunteers with the average age of 31 ± 3.06 years old participated in this three-stage test. EEG signal recording consisted of three stages: After a bit of relaxation (a), a 2D video was displayed (b), the recording of the signal continued for a short period of time as rest (c), and finally the trial ended. Exactly the same steps were repeated for the 3D video. Power spectrum density (PSD) based on short time Fourier transform (STFT) was used to analyze the brain signals of 2D&3D video viewers. After testing all the EEG frequency bands, delta and theta were extracted as the features. Partial least squares regression (PLSR) and Support vector machine (SVM) classification algorithms were considered in order to classify EEG signals obtained as the result of 2D&3D video watching. Successful classification results were obtained by selecting the correct combinations of effective channels representing the brain regions.

We address with this paper some real-life healthy and epileptic EEG signals classification. Our proposed method is based on the use of the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and Support Vector Machine (SVM). For each EEG signal, five wavelet decomposition level is applied which allow obtaining five spectral sub-bands correspond to five rhythms (Delta, Theta, Alpha, Beta and gamma). After the extraction of some features on each sub-band (energy, standard deviation, and entropy) a moving average (MA) is applied to the resulting features vectors and then used as inputs to SVM to train and test. We test the method on EEG signals during two datasets: normal and epileptics, without and with using MA to compare results. Three parameters are evaluated such as sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy to test the performances of the used methods.

AbstractThe study of Electroencephalogram (EEG)-based biometric has gained the attention of researchers due to the neurons’ unique electrical activity representation of an individual. However, the practical application of EEG-based biometrics is not currently widespread and there are some challenges to its implementation. Nowadays, the evaluation of a biometric system is user driven. Usability is one of the concerning issues that determine the success of the system. The basic elements of the usability of a biometric system are effectiveness, efficiency and user satisfaction. Apart from the mandatory consideration of the biometric system’s performance, users also need an easy-to-use and easy-to-learn authentication system. Thus, to satisfy these user requirements, this paper proposes a reasonable acquisition period and employs a consumer-grade EEG device to authenticate an individual to identify the performances of two acquisition protocols: eyes-closed (EC) and visual stimulation. A self-collected database of eight subjects was utilized in the analysis. The recording process was divided into two sessions, which were the morning and afternoon sessions. In each session, the subject was requested to perform two different tasks: EC and visual stimulation. The pairwise correlation of the preprocessed EEG signals of each electrode channel was determined and a feature vector was formed. Support vector machine (SVM) was then used for classification purposes. In the performance analysis, promising results were obtained, where EC protocol achieved an accuracy performance of 83.70–96.42% while visual stimulation protocol attained an accuracy performance of 87.64–99.06%. These results have demonstrated the feasibility and reliability of our acquisition protocols with consumer-grade EEG devices.

Since the first recordings of brain electrical activity more than 100 years ago remarkable contributions have been done to understand the brain functionality and its interaction with environment. Regardless of the nature of the brain-computer interface BCI, a world of opportunities and possibilities has been opened not only for people with severe disabilities but also for those who are pursuing innovative human interfaces. Deeper understanding of the EEG signals along with refined technologies for its recording is helping to improve the performance of EEG based BCIs. Better processing and features extraction methods, like Independent Component Analysis (ICA) and Wavelet Transform (WT) respectively, are giving promising results that need to be explored. Different types of classifiers and combination of them have been used on EEG BCIs. Linear, neural and nonlinear Bayesian have been the most used classifiers providing accuracies ranges between 60% and 90%. Some demand more computational resources like Support Vector Machines (SVM) classifiers but give good generality. Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) classifiers provide poor generality but low computational resources, making them optimal for some real time BCIs. Better classifiers must be developed to tackle the large patterns variability across different subjects by using every available resource, method or technology.

Stress is categorized as a condition of mental strain or pressure approaches because of upsetting or requesting conditions. There are various sources of stress initiation. Researchers consider human cerebrum as the primary wellspring of stress. To study how each individual encounters stress in different forms, researchers conduct surveys and monitor it. The paper presents the fusion of 5 algorithms to enhance the accuracy for detection of mental stress using EEG signals. The Whale Optimization Algorithm has been modified to select the optimal kernel in the SVM classifier for stress detection. An integrated set of algorithms (NLM, DCT, and MBPSO) has been used for preprocessing, feature extraction, and selection. The proposed algorithm has been tested on EEG signals collected from 14 subjects to identify the stress level. The proposed approach was validated using accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and F1 score with values of 96.36%, 96.84%, 90.8%, and 97.96% and was found to be better than the existing ones. The algorithm may be useful to psychiatrists and health consultants for diagnosing the stress level.

Alcoholism is a complex condition that mainly disturbs the neuronal networks in Central Nervous System (CNS). This disorder not only disturbs the brain, but also affects the behavior, emotions, and cognitive judgements. Electroencephalography (EEG) is a valuable tool to examine the neuropsychiatric disorders like alcoholism. The EEG is a well-established modality to diagnose the electrical activity produced by the populations of neurons in cerebral cortex. However, EEG signals are non-linear in nature; hence very challenging to interpret the valuable information from them using linear methods. Thus, using non-linear methods to analyze EEG signals can be beneficial in order to predict the brain signals condition. This paper presents a computer-aided diagnostic method for the detection of alcoholic EEG signals from normal by employing the non-linear techniques. First, the EEG signals are subjected to six levels of Wavelet Packet Decomposition (WPD) to obtain seven wavebands (delta ([Formula: see text]), theta ([Formula: see text]), lower alpha (la), upper alpha (ua), lower beta (lb), upper beta (ub), lower gamma (lg)). From each wavebands (activity bands), 19 non-linear features such as Recurrence Quantification Analysis (RQA) ([Formula: see text]), Approximate Entropy ([Formula: see text]), Energy ([Formula: see text]), Fractal Dimension (FD) ([Formula: see text]), Permutation Entropy ([Formula: see text]), Detrended Fluctuation Analysis ([Formula: see text]), Hurst Exponent ([Formula: see text]), Largest Lyapunov Exponent ([Formula: see text]), Sample Entropy ([Formula: see text]), Shannon’s Entropy ([Formula: see text]), Renyi’s entropy ([Formula: see text]), Tsalli’s entropy ([Formula: see text]), Fuzzy entropy ([Formula: see text]), Wavelet entropy ([Formula: see text]), Kolmogorov–Sinai entropy ([Formula: see text]), Modified Multiscale Entropy ([Formula: see text]), Hjorth’s parameters (activity ([Formula: see text]), mobility ([Formula: see text]), and complexity ([Formula: see text])) are extracted. The extracted features are then ranked using Bhattacharyya, Entropy, Fuzzy entropy-based Max-Relevancy and Min-Redundancy (mRMR), Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC), [Formula: see text]-test, and Wilcoxon. These ranked features are given to train Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier. The SVM classifier with radial basis function (RBF) achieved 95.41% accuracy, 93.33% sensitivity and 97.50% specificity using four non-linear features ranked by Wilcoxon method. In addition, an integrated index called Alcoholic Index (ALCOHOLI) is developed using highly ranked two features for identification of normal and alcoholic EEG signals using a single number. This system is rapid, efficient, and inexpensive and can be employed as an EEG analysis assisting system by clinicians in the detection of alcoholism. In addition, the proposed system can be used in rehabilitation centers to evaluate person with alcoholism over time and observe the outcome of treatment provided for reducing or reversing the impact of the condition on the brain.

Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals, which record the electrical activity in the brain, are useful for assessing the mental state of a person. Since these signals are nonlinear and non-stationary in nature, it is very difficult to decipher the useful information from them using conventional statistical and frequency domain methods. Hence, the application of nonlinear time series analysis to EEG signals could be useful to study the dynamical nature and variability of the brain signals. In this paper, we propose a Computer Aided Diagnostic (CAD) technique for the automated identification of normal and alcoholic EEG signals using nonlinear features. We first extract nonlinear features such as Approximate Entropy (ApEn), Largest Lyapunov Exponent (LLE), Sample Entropy (SampEn), and four other Higher Order Spectra (HOS) features, and then use them to train Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier of varying kernel functions: 1st, 2nd, and 3rd order polynomials and a Radial basis function (RBF) kernel. Our results indicate that these nonlinear measures are good discriminators of normal and alcoholic EEG signals. The SVM classifier with a polynomial kernel of order 1 could distinguish the two classes with an accuracy of 91.7%, sensitivity of 90% and specificity of 93.3%. As a pre-analysis step, the EEG signals were tested for nonlinearity using surrogate data analysis and we found that there was a significant difference in the LLE measure of the actual data and the surrogate data.

These Electroencephalography (EEG) signals is an effective tool for identification, monitoring, and treatment of epilepsy, but EEG signals need highly experienced personnel to interpret it correctly due to its complexity, even for an expert it is monotonous and usually consume much time. Therefore, the automatic computer-aided device (CAD) needs to be developed to overcome those challenges associated with epilepsy interpretation and diagnosis. The system efficiency relies largely on the quality of features supply as input to classifiers. This paper presents an efficient feature extraction technique to develop a CAD system that can detect and classify normal, interictal and ictal epilepsy signals correctly with high accuracy. Our approach employs time-frequency features, statistical features and nonlinear features combined as hybrid features to train and test the classifier. Machine learning classifiers of multi-class support vector machine (mSVM) and feed-forward neural network (FFNN) with fivefold cross-validation are used to classifies normal, interictal and ictal with our proposed features. Our system was tested using a publicly available database with three classes each of 100 single channels EEG signals of 4096 samples point each. Based on sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy, our proposed approach of multiclass classification shows a good performance with 96.7%, 98.3% and 100% of sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy respectively.

Epilepsy is a critical neurological disorder with critical influences on the way of living of its victims and prominent features such as persistent convulsion periods followed by unconsciousness. Electroencephalogram (EEG) is one of the commonly used devices for seizure recognition and epilepsy detection. Recognition of convulsions using EEG waves takes a relatively long time because it is conducted physically by epileptologists. The EEG signals are analyzed and categorized, after being captured, into two types, which are normal or abnormal (indicating an epileptic seizure).  This study relies on EEG signals which are provided by Arrhythmia Database. Thus, this work is a step beyond the traditional database mission of delivering users’ inquiries; instead, this work is to extract insight and knowledge of such data. The features are extracted from the signals by applying the Discrete Wavelet transform (DWT) method on the input EEG signals. Two different algorithms Support vector machine (SVM) and k-nearest neighbours (KNN) are applied to the extracted features. After using the above method, two different types of EEG are expected by using classification, either to be normal (refers to the normal activeness of the brain) or abnormal (refers to the non-normal activeness of the brain, which may involve epilepsy). The evaluation is based on three parameters (Precision, Recall, and Accuracy), and also on the implementation time. In this research, two different methods are used, the first is the DWT with SVM, and the second is the DWT with KNN. With regard to the three-parameter values and implementation time, it turned out that the second method was more efficient than the first because of its higher accuracy.
