Classifying brain activities based on electroencephalogram (EEG) signals is one of the important applications of time series discriminant analysis for diagnosing brain disorders. In this paper, we introduce a new method based on the Singular Spectrum Analysis (SSA) technique for classifying brain activity based on EEG signals via an application into a benchmark dataset for epileptic study with five categories, consisting of 100 EEG recordings per category. The results from the SSA based approach are xcompared with those from discrete wavelet transform before proposing a hybrid SSA and principal component analysis based approach for improving accuracy levels further.

Electroencephalogram (EEG) is a fundamental and unique tool for exploring human brain activity in general and epileptic mechanism in particular. It offers significant information about epileptic seizures source known as epileptogenic area. However, it is often complicated to detect critical changes in EEG signals by visual examination, since this signal aspect of epileptic persons seems to be normal out of the seizure. Thus, the challenge is to design such a robust and automatic system to detect these unseen changes and use them for diagnosis. In this research, we apply the Artificial Metaplasticity Multi-Layer Perceptron (AMMLP) together with discrete wavelet transform (DWT) to Bonn EEG signals for seizure detection goal. Significant features were then extracted from the well-known EEG brainwaves. Aiming to decrease the computational time and improve classification accuracy, we performed a features ranking and selection employing the Relief algorithm. The obtained AMMLP classification accuracy of 98.97% proved the effctiveness of the applied approach. Our results were compared to recent researches results on the same database, proving to be superior or at least an interesting alternative for seizures detection within EEG signals.

An analysis of the Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals while performing a monotonous task and drinking alcohol using principal component analysis (PCA), linear discriminant analysis (LDA) for feature extraction and Neural Networks (NNs) for classification is proposed. The EEG is captured while performing a monotonous task that can adversely affect the brain and possibly cause stress. Moreover, we investigate the effects of alcohol on the brain by capturing the data continuously after consumption of equal amounts of alcohol. We hope that our work will shed more light on the relationship between such actions and EEG, and investigate if there is any relation between the tasks and mental stress. EEG signals offers a rare look at brain activity, while, monotonous activities are well known to cause irritation which may contribute to mental stress. We apply PCA and LDA to characterize the change in each component, extract it and discriminate using a NN. After experiments, it was found that PCA and LDA are effective analysis methods in EEG signal analysis.

An electroencephalogram (EEG) is a test that records electrical activity in the brain. Epileptic seizures affect approximately 50 million people worldwide, making it one of the most serious neurological disorders. Seizures cause a loss of consciousness, but there are no specic signs associated with epileptic seizures. analysing the brain's activity during seizures and locating the seizure duration in EEG recordings is difcult and time consuming. A discrete wavelet transform (DWT), which is an effective tool for decomposing EEG signals into delta, theta, alpha, beta, and gamma ( and ) frequency bands. For research, the db4 is used, which has a morphological d,q,a,b g structure that is different to that of EEG.

It becomes more difficult to identify and analyze the Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals when it is corrupted by eye movements and eye blinks. This paper gives the different methods how to remove the artifacts in EEG signals. In this paper we proposed wavelet based threshold method and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) based adaptive threshold method to remove the ocular artifacts. Compared to the wavelet threshold method PCA based adaptive threshold method will gives the better PSNR value and it will decreases the elapsed time.

Wavelet transform decomposition of electroencephalogram (EEG) signals has been widely used for the analysis and detection of epileptic seizure of patients. However, the classification of EEG signals is still challenging because of high nonstationarity and high dimensionality. The aim of this work is an automatic classification of the EEG recordings by using statistical features extraction and support vector machine. From a real database, two sets of EEG signals are used: EEG recorded from a healthy person and from an epileptic person during epileptic seizures. Three important statistical features are computed at different sub-bands discrete wavelet and wavelet packet decomposition of EEG recordings. In this study, to select the best wavelet for our application, five wavelet basis functions are considered for processing EEG signals. After reducing the dimension of the obtained data by linear discriminant analysis and principal component analysis (PCA), feature vectors are used to model and to train the efficient support vector machine classifier. In order to show the efficiency of this approach, the statistical classification performances are evaluated, and a rate of 100% for the best classification accuracy is obtained and is compared with those obtained in other studies for the same dataset. However, this method is not meant to replace the clinician but can assist him for his diagnosis and reinforce his decision.

Electroencephalogram (EEG) is basically a standard method for investigating the brain’s electrical action in diverse psychological and pathological states. Investigation of Electroencephalogram (EEG) signal is a tough task due to the occurrence of different artifacts such as Ocular Artifacts (OA) and Electromyogram. By and large EEG signals falls in the range of DC to 60 Hz and amplitude of 1-5 µv. Ocular artifacts do have the similar statistical properties of EEG signals, often interfere with EEG signal, thereby making the analysis of EEG signals more complex[1]. In this research paper, Principal Component Analysis is employed in denoising the EEG signals. This paper explains up to what level the scaling of principal components have to be done. This paper explains the number of levels of scaling the principal components to get the high quality EEG signal. The work has been carried out on different data sets and later estimated the SNR.


In recent year, Authors had been attempting to find or detect the feeling of human by recorded brain signal for example, EEG (electroencephalogram) alerts. Because of the unnecessary degrees of unwanted signal from EEG recording, a solitary feature alone can't accomplish great execution. Distinct feature is key for automatic feeling identification. Right now, we present an AI based scheme utilizing various features extricated from EEG recordings. The plan joins these particular highlights in feature space utilizing both managed and unaided component choice procedures. To re-request the joined highlights to max-importance with the names and min-repetition of each feature by applying Maximum Relevance Minimum Redundancy (MRMR). The produced highlights are additionally diminished with principal component analysis(PCA) for removing essential segments. Test report will be generated to show that the proposed work should outperform the condition of-workmanship techniques utilizing similar settings in real time dataset.

Epilepsy is the second most persistent neurological condition, endangering the lives of patients. Though there have been many advancements in neurological imaging approaches, the Electroencephalogram (EEG) still remains to be the most effective tool for testing and diagnosing epileptic patients. The visual analytics of EEG signals is a very prolonged process and always open to the subjective judgment of the physicians. The main goal of our study is to build an automatic classifier that can analyze and detect epilepsy from EEG recordings obtained from epileptic and healthy patients, thus helping the neurosurgeons to diagnose epilepsy in a better way. Synthetic minority oversampling technique (SMOTE) has been used for balancing the EEG dataset and the Principal component analysis (PCA) technique is applied further, for reducing the EEG signal dimensionality. For data classification, seven machine learning classifiers have been used and after comparing the results the authors conclude that Artificial Neural Network (ANN), outperforms the other classifiers by providing an accuracy of 97.82%.

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.

This study proposes an image denoising algorithm based on sparse representation and Principal Component Analysis (PCA). The proposed algorithm includes the following steps. First, the noisy image is divided into overlapped [Formula: see text] blocks. Second, the discrete cosine transform is applied as a dictionary for the sparse representation of the vectors created by the overlapped blocks. To calculate the sparse vector, the orthogonal matching pursuit algorithm is used. Then, the dictionary is updated by means of the PCA algorithm to achieve the sparsest representation of vectors. Since the signal energy, unlike the noise energy, is concentrated on a small dataset by transforming into the PCA domain, the signal and noise can be well distinguished. The proposed algorithm was implemented in a MATLAB environment and its performance was evaluated on some standard grayscale images under different levels of standard deviations of white Gaussian noise by means of peak signal-to-noise ratio, structural similarity indexes, and visual effects. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed denoising algorithm achieves significant improvement compared to dual-tree complex discrete wavelet transform and K-singular value decomposition image denoising methods. It also obtains competitive results with the block-matching and 3D filtering method, which is the current state-of-the-art for image denoising.
