This chapter investigates the effect of a motivational song (acting as a stimulus) on the electrical activity of the heart using wavelet packet analysis of electrocardiogram (ECG) signals. ECG signals were acquired from 18 healthy male volunteers during the pre- and the post-stimulus conditions. Wavelet packet decomposition of the ECG signals was performed up to level 3 using db04 wavelet, which resulted in the formation of 8 wavelet packet coefficients. Linear (t-test) and nonlinear (classification and regression tree [CART], boosted tree [BT], and random forest [RF]) methods were used to identify the statistically significant parameters. The statistically significant parameters were used as categorical inputs for multilayer perceptron (MLP)-based artificial neural network (ANN) classification of the ECG signals. A classification efficiency of ≥ 80% was obtained, suggesting an alteration in the cardiac electrophysiology of the volunteers caused by the music stimulus.

In this chapter, the effect of an old generation romantic music (stimulus) on the autonomic nervous system (ANS) activity and the cardiac electrophysiology of Indian male volunteers was investigated. Electrocardiogram (ECG) signals were acquired and the corresponding RR intervals (RRIs) were extracted. The recurrence analysis of the RRI time series suggested a more stable heart rate in the post-stimulus condition. Heart rate variability (HRV) analysis detected a dominant parasympathetic activity in the post-stimulus condition. The time-domain and the wavelet transform analyses of the ECG signals predicted an alteration in the electrical activity of the heart because of the exposure to the music stimulus. The classification of the HRV and the ECG parameters was performed using artificial neural network (ANN), which resulted in an accuracy of ≥80%.

This chapter is aimed at identifying the variation in the cardiac electrophysiology due to the abuse of the cannabis products (bhang) in a non-invasive manner. ECG signals were acquired from 25 Indian women working in the paddy fields. Amongst them, 10 women regularly abused bhang and the rest 15 women never abused bhang. The ECG signals were preprocessed and subjected to wavelet packet decomposition (WPD) up to the level 3 using db04 wavelet. Ninety-six statistical features were extracted from the wavelet packet coefficients and analyzed using linear and non-linear statistical methods. The results suggested a variation in the cardiac electrophysiology due to the abuse of bhang. Artificial neural networks (ANNs), namely, radial basis function (RBF) and multilayer perceptron (MLP) were able to classify the ECG signals with an accuracy of ≥95%. This supported the hypothesis that abuse of bhang may alter the cardiac electrophysiology. The results of the study may be used to increase awareness among people to avoid the abuse of cannabis products.

The current study delineates the effect of Odia and Tamil music on the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) and cardiac conduction pathway of Odia volunteers. The analysis of the ECG signals using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) showed that the features obtained from the HRV domain, time-domain and wavelet transform domain were statistically insignificant. But non-linear classifiers like Classification and Regression Tree (CART), Boosted Tree (BT) and Random Forest (RF) indicated the presence of important features. A classification efficiency of more than 85% was achieved when the important features, obtained from the non-linear classifiers, were used. The results suggested that there is an increase in the parasympathetic activity when music is heard in the mother tongue. If a person is made to listen to music in the language with which he is not conversant, an increase in the sympathetic activity is observed. It is also expected that there might be a difference in the cardiac conduction pathway.

Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining (KDD) have become popular buzzwords. But what exactly is data mining? What are its strengths and limitations? Classic regression, artificial neural network (ANN), and classification and regression tree (CART) models are common KDD tools. Some recent reports ( e.g., Kattan et al., 1998 ) show that ANN and CART models can perform better than classic regression models: CART models excel at covariate interactions, while ANN models excel at nonlinear covariates. Model prediction performance is examined with the use of validation procedures and evaluating concordance, sensitivity, specificity, and likelihood ratio. To aid interpretation, various plots of predicted probabilities are utilized, such as lift charts, receiver operating characteristic curves, and cumulative captured-response plots. A dental caries study is used as an illustrative example. This paper compares the performance of logistic regression with KDD methods of CART and ANN in analyzing data from the Rochester caries study. With careful analysis, such as validation with sufficient sample size and the use of proper competitors, problems of naïve KDD analyses ( Schwarzer et al., 2000 ) can be carefully avoided.

In the case of level 3 automated vehicles, in order to safely and quickly transfer control authority rights to manual driving, it is necessary that a study be conducted on the characteristics of human factors affecting the transition of manual driving. In this study, we conducted three experiments to compare the characteristics of human factors that influence the driver’s quality of response when re-engaging and stabilizing manual driving. The three experiments were conducted sequentially by dividing them into a normal driving situation, an obstacle occurrence situation in front, and an obstacle and congestion on surrounding roads. We performed a statistical analysis and classification and regression tree (CART) analysis using experimental data. We found that as the number of trials increased, there was a learning effect that shortened re-engagement times and increased the proportion of drivers with good response times. We found that the stabilization time increased as the experiment progressed, as obstacles appeared in front and traffic density increased in the surrounding lanes. The results of the analysis are useful for vehicle developers designing safer human–machine interfaces and for governments developing guidelines for automated driving systems.

This chapter is an attempt to understand the effect of audio-visual stimulus with a humorous content on the cardiac electrophysiology. Electrocardiogram (ECG) signals were acquired from 11 female volunteers under the pre- and the post-stimulus conditions. Artificial neural network (ANN)-based classification of the ARMA model coefficients computed from the RR interval signals suggested significant variation in the autonomic nervous system activity. Analysis of the Gabor denoised ECG signals indicated a change in the electrical activity of the heart in the post-stimulus condition, which was confirmed by the ANN-based classification. Recurrence analysis of the RR interval suggested plausible differences of the cardiac activity amongst both the conditions. The audio-visual stimulus has resulted in significant alterations in the ANS and the cardiac physiology.
