abstract

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 tool in signal processing. unlike traditional time-frequency approaches, hht exploits the nonlinearity of the medium and non-stationarity of the eeg signals. in addition, we use singular spectrum analysis (ssa) in the pre-processing step as an effective noise removal approach. by using synthetic and real eeg signals, the proposed method is compared with wavelet generalized likelihood ratio (wglr) as a well-known signal segmentation method. the simulation results indicate the performance superiority of the proposed method.

A time-frequency approach for EEG signal segmentation

The record of human brain neural activities, namely electroencephalogram (EEG), is known to be nonstationary in general. In addition, the human head is a non-linear medium for such signals. In many applications, it is useful to divide the EEGs into segments in which the signals can be considered stationary. Here, Hilbert-Huang Transform (HHT), as an effective tool in signal processing is applie...

A New Approach for Investigating the Complexity of Short Term EEG Signal Based on Neural Network

 Background and purpose: The nonlinear quality of electroencephalography (EEG), like other irregular signals, can be quantified. Some of these values, such as Lyapunovchr('39')s representative, study the signal path divergence and some quantifiers need to reconstruct the signal path but some do not. However, all of these quantifiers require a long signal to quantify the signal complexity. Mate...

Time-Frequency Analysis of EEG Signal processing for Artifact Detection

EEG is widely used to record the electrical activity of the brain for detecting various kinds of diseases and disorders of the human brain. EEG signals are contaminated with several unwanted artifacts during EEG recording and these artifacts make the analysis of EEG signal difficult by hiding some valuable information. Time-frequency representation of electroencephalogram (EEG) signal provides ...

A Time-Frequency Approach For EEG Spike Detection

(Received: October 8, 2011; Accepted: November 29, 2011) Abstract: This paper presents a new method for detecting EEG spikes using the time-frequency distribution of the signal. As spikes are short-time broadband events, their energy patterns are represented as ridges in the time-frequency domain. In this domain, the high instantaneous energy of the spikes makes them more distinguishable from t...

Newborn EEG Seizure Detection Using Adaptive Time-Frequency Signal Processing

D ysfunction in the central nervous system of the neonate is often rst identi ed through seizures. The di culty in detecting clinical seizures, which involves the observation of physical manifestations characteristic to newborn seizure, has placed greater emphasis on the detection of newborn electroencephalographic (EEG) seizure. The high incidence of newborn seizure has resulted in considerabl...
