Combining Time Frequency Representation and Parametric Analysis for the Enhancement of Transients in Sleep Eeg Signal

چکیده
The study of the electroencephalographic (EEG) signal contributes to sleep analysis. In the microstructure of the sleep EEG signal, transient patterns are characterized by their frequency content and their time duration. The Time– Frequency Representations (TFR) take into account these time – frequency characteristics but the lower energy transient signals are masked by higher energy ones. In order to overcome this problem, we introduced a method to decompose signals into a summation of oscillatory components with time varying frequency, amplitude and phase characteristics, based on the Tufts-Kumaresan algorithm. The resulting parameters, i.e. amplitude and frequency, are then used to train joint linear filtering operations of the TFR in the time frequency domain. The aim of this work is to improve the classical TFR analysis for detecting frequency transients over short time duration, to reduce the amount of useful information to few parameters that help medical doctors to analyze the microstructure of sleep by correlating information estimated from different signals.

A Time-Frequency approach for EEG signal segmentation
The record of human brain neural activities, namely electroencephalogram (EEG), is generally known as a non-stationary and nonlinear signal. In many applications, it is useful to divide the EEGs into segments within which the signals can be considered stationary. Combination of empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and Hilbert transform, called Hilbert-Huang transform (HHT), is a new and powerful ...

متن کاملNewborn EEG Seizure Detection Based on Interspike Space Distribution in the Time-Frequency Domain
This paper presents a new time-frequency based EEG seizure detection method. This method uses the distribution of interspike intervals as a criterion for discriminating between seizure and nonseizure activities. To detect spikes in the EEG, the signal is mapped into the time-frequency domain. The high instantaneous energy of spikes is reflected as a localized energy in time-frequency domain. Hi...
