Abstract Automatic sleep staging of neonates is essential for monitoring their brain development and maturity of the nervous system. EEG based neonatal sleep staging provides valuable information about an infant’s growth and health, but is challenging due to the unique characteristics of EEG and lack of standardized protocols. This study aims to develop and compare 18 machine learning models using Automated Machine Learning (autoML) technique for accurate and reliable multi-channel EEG-based neonatal sleep-wake classification. The study investigates autoML feasibility without extensive manual selection of features or hyperparameter tuning. The data is obtained from neonates at post-menstrual age 37 ± 05 weeks.… More >

Abstract Sleep spindles are an electroencephalogram (EEG) biomarker of non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep and have important implications for clinical diagnosis and prognosis. However, it is challenging to accurately detect sleep spindles due to the complexity of the human brain and the uncertainty of neural mechanisms. To improve the reliability and objectivity of sleep spindle detection and to compensate for the limitations of manual annotation, this study proposes a new automatic detection algorithm based on Matching Pursuit (MP) and Least Squares Boosting (LSBoost), where the automatic sleep spindle detection algorithm can help reduce the visual annotation workload of sleep clinicians. Specifically,… More >

Abstract Epilepsy is a central nervous system disorder in which brain activity becomes abnormal. Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals, as recordings of brain activity, have been widely used for epilepsy recognition. To study epileptic EEG signals and develop artificial intelligence (AI)-assist recognition, a multi-view transfer learning (MVTL-LSR) algorithm based on least squares regression is proposed in this study. Compared with most existing multi-view transfer learning algorithms, MVTL-LSR has two merits: (1) Since traditional transfer learning algorithms leverage knowledge from different sources, which poses a significant risk to data privacy. Therefore, we develop a knowledge transfer mechanism that can protect the security of source… More >

Abstract The term Epilepsy refers to a most commonly occurring brain disorder after a migraine. Early identification of incoming seizures significantly impacts the lives of people with Epilepsy. Automated detection of epileptic seizures (ES) has dramatically improved the life quality of the patients. Recent Electroencephalogram (EEG) related seizure detection mechanisms encountered several difficulties in real-time. The EEGs are the non-stationary signal, and seizure patterns would change with patients and recording sessions. Further, EEG data were disposed to wide noise varieties that adversely moved the recognition accuracy of ESs. Artificial intelligence (AI) methods in the domain of ES analysis use traditional deep… More >

Abstract Brain signal analysis plays a significant role in attaining data related to motor activities. The parietal region of the brain plays a vital role in muscular movements. This approach aims to demonstrate a unique technique to identify an ideal region of the human brain that generates signals responsible for muscular movements; perform statistical analysis to provide an absolute characterization of the signal and validate the obtained results using a prototype arm. This can enhance the practical implementation of these frequency extractions for future neuro-prosthetic applications and the characterization of neurological diseases like Parkinson’s disease (PD). To play out this handling… More >

Abstract How to accurately recognize the mental state of pilots is a focus in civil aviation safety. The mental state of pilots is closely related to their cognitive ability in piloting. Whether the cognitive ability meets the standard is related to flight safety. However, the pilot's working state is unique, which increases the difficulty of analyzing the pilot's mental state. In this work, we proposed a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) that merges attention to classify the mental state of pilots through electroencephalography (EEG). Considering the individual differences in EEG, semi-supervised learning based on improved K-Means is used in the model training… More >

Abstract Sleep plays a vital role in optimum working of the brain and the body. Numerous people suffer from sleep-oriented illnesses like apnea, insomnia, etc. Sleep stage classification is a primary process in the quantitative examination of polysomnographic recording. Sleep stage scoring is mainly based on experts’ knowledge which is laborious and time consuming. Hence, it can be essential to design automated sleep stage classification model using machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) approaches. In this view, this study focuses on the design of Competitive Multi-verse Optimization with Deep Learning Based Sleep Stage Classification (CMVODL-SSC) model using Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals.… More >

Abstract

There exists various neurological disorder based diseases like tumor, sleep disorder, headache, dementia and Epilepsy. Among these, epilepsy is the most common neurological illness in humans, comparable to stroke. Epilepsy is a severe chronic neurological illness that can be discovered through analysis of the signals generated by brain neurons and brain Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Neurons are intricately coupled in order to communicate and generate signals from human organs. Due to the complex nature of electroencephalogram (EEG) signals and MRI’s the epileptic seizures detection and brain related problems diagnosis becomes a challenging task. Computer based techniques and machine learning models… More >

Abstract Encephalitis is a brain inflammation disease. Encephalitis can yield to seizures, motor disability, or some loss of vision or hearing. Sometimes, encephalitis can be a life-threatening and proper diagnosis in an early stage is very crucial. Therefore, in this paper, we are proposing a deep learning model for computerized detection of Encephalitis from the electroencephalogram data (EEG). Also, we propose a Density-Based Clustering model to classify the distinctive waves of Encephalitis. Customary clustering models usually employ a computed single centroid virtual point to define the cluster configuration, but this single point does not contain adequate information. To precisely extract accurate… More >
