An Improved Automatic EEG Signal Segmentation Method based on Generalized Likelihood Ratio
Authors
Abstract:
It is often needed to label electroencephalogram (EEG) signals by segments of similar characteristics that are particularly meaningful to clinicians and for assessment by neurophysiologists. Within each segment, the signals are considered statistically stationary, usually with similar characteristics such as amplitude and/or frequency. In order to detect the segments boundaries of a signal, we propose an improved method using time-varying autoregressive (TVAR) model, integral, basic generalized likelihood ratio (GLR) and new particle swarm optimization (NPSO) which is a powerful intelligence optimizing. Since autoregressive (AR) model for the GLR method is valid for only stationary signals, the TVAR as a valuable and powerful tool for non-stationary signals is suggested. Moreover, to improve the performance of the basic GLR and increase the speed of that, we propose to use moving steps more than one sample for successive windows in the basic GLR method. By using synthetic and real EEG data, the proposed method is compared with the conventional ones, i.e. the GLR and wavelet GLR (WGLR). The simulation results indicate the absolute advantages of the proposed method.

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 ...

When the objective is quick detection both small and large shifts in the process mean with normal distribution, the generalized likelihood ratio (GLR) control charts have better performance as compared to other control charts. Only the fixed parameters are used in Reynolds and Lou’s presented charts. According to the studies, using variable parameters, detect process shifts faster than fixed pa...

An improved pixon-based method is proposed in this paper for image segmentation. In thisapproach, a wavelet thresholding technique is initially applied on the image to reduce noise and toslightly smooth the image. This technique causes an image not to be oversegmented when the pixonbasedmethod is used. Indeed, the wavelet thresholding, as a pre-processing step, eliminates theunnecessary details...

In many signal processing application, the signal of interest is often divided into epochs. In these applications, the segmented signal is preferred to have no change on the statistical characteristics of the epochs. Modified Varri is among the segmentation methods with an acceptable accuracy. There are three parameters affecting on the accuracy of this method. These parameters are set experime...
