The scaling behavior of human electroencephalogram (EEG) signals is well exploited by appropriate extraction of time – frequency domain and entropy based features. Such measurable inherently helps understanding the neurophysiological phenomenon of brain as well as its associated cortical activities. Being a non-linear time series, EEG's are assumed to be fragment of fluctuations. Several attempts have been made to study the EEG signals for clinical applications such as epileptic seizure detection, evoked response potential recognition, tumor detection, identification of alcoholics and so on. In all such applications appropriate selection of feature parameter plays an important role in discriminating normal EEG from abnormal. In the recent past one can find the importance of wavelet and wavelet packet towards EEG analysis. This proposed research work investigates the effect of wavelet packet log energy entropy on EEG signals. Entropy being the measure of relative information, the proposed study attempts to discriminate the normal EEGs from abnormal EEG's by employing the log energy entropy features. For better brevity, this study restricts to the analysis of epileptic seizure from normal EEGs. Different decomposition levels from 2 to 5 were considered for wavelet packets with application of Haar, rbio3.1, sym7, dmey wavelets. A one second windowing was introduced for the data segmentation and Shannon's log energy entropy was estimated. Then the statistical non-parametric Wilcoxon model was employed. The result shows that the application of wavelet packet log energy entropy found to be a potential indicator for discriminating epileptic seizure from normal.

Epilepsy is a psychiatric condition that has serious consequences for the human brain. The Electroencephalogram (EEG) may reveal a pattern that tells physicians whether an epileptic seizure is likely to occur again. EEG testing may also help the physician exclude other conditions that mimic epilepsy as a reason for the seizure. Now-a-days the researchers are showing much interest in these seizure detection because of its significance in epileptic detection. This paper is addressing an efficient soft computing framework for seizure detection from the EEG signal. The proposed pipeline of work is having the state-of-art as the possibility of achieving the maximum accuracy. The spectral features extracted from the Intrinsic mode functions (IMF) of EEG samples and it is directing the proposed flow towards the efficient detection of seizure and also the random forest algorithm based a convulsion classification is reliable for because of its learning behavior from the huge number of known dataset. The feature selection algorithm in this proposed work is stimulating the overall work towards the maximum true positive rate. This work is implemented on MATLAB platform and dataset were downloaded from the universal database such as Bonn university database. The results obtained from the proposed approach is showing the truthfulness of the approach introduced here.

One of the most important fields in clinical neurophysiology is an electroencephalogram (EEG). It is a test used to detect problems related to the brain electrical activity, and it can track and records patterns of brain waves. EEG continues to play an essential role in diagnosis and management of patients with epileptic seizure disorders. Nevertheless, the outcome of EEG as a tool for evaluating epileptic seizure is often interpreted as a noise rather than an ordered pattern. The mathematical modelling of EEG signals provides valuable data to neurologists, and is heavily utilized in the diagnosis and treatment of epilepsy. EEG signals during the seizure can be modeled as ordinary differential equation (ODE). In this study we will present an alternative form of ODE of EEG signals through the seizure.

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.

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.

A vehicle, when running, makes a complex sound emission from the engine, the exhaust, the air conditioner, and other mechanical parts. Analysis of this sound for the purpose of vehicle identification is an interesting practice which has security- and transportation-related applications. Engine speed variation, which causes shifts in the frequency content of the emissions, makes Fourier-based methods ineffective in terms of providing a stable signature for the vehicle. We search for an engine speed–independent acoustic signature for the vehicle, and for this purpose, we propose wavelet packet analysis rather than traditional time- or frequency-domain methods. Wavelet packet analysis, by providing arbitrary time–frequency resolution, enables analyzing signals of stationary and non-stationary nature. It has better time representation than Fourier analysis and better high-frequency resolution than wavelet analysis. Under varying engine speed, sound emissions are recorded from four cars and analyzed by wavelet packet analysis. Wavelet packet analysis subimages are further analyzed to obtain feature vectors in the form of log energy entropy, norm entropy, and energy. These feature vectors are fed into a classifier, multilayer perceptron, for evaluation. While norm entropy achieves a classification rate of 100%, log energy entropy and energy achieves classification rates of 99.26% and 97.79%, respectively. These results indicate that, wavelet packet analysis along with norm entropy and multilayer perceptron provides an accurate vehicle-specific acoustic signature independent of the engine speed.

The classification of electroencephalogram (EEG) signals is of significant importance in brain-computer interface (BCI) systems. Aiming to achieve intelligent classification of motor imagery EEG types with high accuracy, a classification methodology using the wavelet packet decomposition (WPD) and the proposed deep residual convolutional networks (DRes-CNN) is proposed. Firstly, EEG waveforms are segmented into sub-signals. Then the EEG signal features are obtained through the WPD algorithm, and some selected wavelet coefficients are retained and reconstructed into EEG signals in their respective frequency bands. Subsequently, the reconstructed EEG signals were utilized as input of the proposed deep residual convolutional networks to classify EEG signals. Finally, EEG types of motor imagination are classified by the DRes-CNN classifier intelligently. The datasets from BCI Competition were used to test the performance of the proposed deep learning classifier. Classification experiments show that the average recognition accuracy of this method reaches 98.76%. The proposed method can be further applied to the BCI system of motor imagination control.
