A reliable assessment of the depth of hypnosis during sedation and general anaesthesia using the EEG is a subject of current interest. The Narcotrend Index implemented in the latest version 4.0 of the EEG monitor Narcotrend provides an automatic classification of the EEG on a scale ranging from 100 (awake) to 0 (very deep hypnosis, EEG suppression). The classification algorithms implemented in the EEG monitor Narcotrend are described. In a study the correlation of the propofol effect-site concentration with the Narcotrend Index and with the traditional spectral parameters total power, relative power in the standard frequency bands delta, theta, alpha, and beta, median frequency, 95% spectral edge frequency, burst-compensated spectral edge frequency, and spectral entropy was investigated. The Narcotrend Index had the highest average correlation with the propofol effect-site concentration and the smallest variability of the individual correlation values. Moreover, the Narcotrend Index was the only parameter which showed a monophasic trend over the whole investigated time period. The Narcotrend monitor can make a significant contribution to the improvement of the quality of anaesthesia by adjusting the dosage of hypnotics to individual patient needs.  相似文献

The classification technique of single spectra based on a matrix of intercorrelation between these spectra and the fixed set of standard spectral patterns (SP) has been put forward. Including in the classification technique a special procedure for automatic adaptation of the standard SP to given EEG records makes it possible to reduce the number of unclassified single spectra to a minimum (6-10%), which we can ignore during comparative analysis of the EEG classification profiles. Using the universal set of standard SP makes it possible to compare the results of classification of different EEG records. The results of the analysis of classification profiles of human multichannel EEG during performance of the memory task on perception of visual images are described in the paper. It has been shown that both the total EEG reorganization associated with the alpha rhythm blockade during eyes opening and less noticeable EEG shifts accompanying changes in the stages of cognitive activity are underlain by a rather differentiated transformations of relative contributions of each type of the SP into the total power spectrum. It has been revealed that a relatively small part (15-20%) of the elementary EEG segments participates in the reorganization of the EEG classification profile.  相似文献

A new measure of dissimilarity between two EEG segments is proposed. It is derived from the application of the mathematical concept of distance between series of one-step predictions according to the estimated non-linear autoregressive functions. The non-linear autoregressive estimation is performed by non-parametric regression using kernel estimators. The possibility of applying this measure for automatic classification of EEG segments is explored. For this purpose multidimensional scaling and cluster analyses are applied on the basis of the calculated dissimilarity measures. In particular, its application to different EEG segments with delta activity and also with alpha waves reveals high agreement with visual classification by EEG specialists.  相似文献

Background

Epilepsy is a common chronic neurological disorder characterized by recurrent unprovoked seizures. Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals play a critical role in the diagnosis of epilepsy. Multichannel EEGs contain more information than do single-channel EEGs. Automatic detection algorithms for spikes or seizures have traditionally been implemented on single-channel EEG, and algorithms for multichannel EEG are unavailable.

Methodology

This study proposes a physiology-based detection system for epileptic seizures that uses multichannel EEG signals. The proposed technique was tested on two EEG data sets acquired from 18 patients. Both unipolar and bipolar EEG signals were analyzed. We employed sample entropy (SampEn), statistical values, and concepts used in clinical neurophysiology (e.g., phase reversals and potential fields of a bipolar EEG) to extract the features. We further tested the performance of a genetic algorithm cascaded with a support vector machine and post-classification spike matching.

Principal Findings

We obtained 86.69% spike detection and 99.77% seizure detection for Data Set I. The detection system was further validated using the model trained by Data Set I on Data Set II. The system again showed high performance, with 91.18% detection of spikes and 99.22% seizure detection.

Conclusion

We report a de novo EEG classification system for seizure and spike detection on multichannel EEG that includes physiology-based knowledge to enhance the performance of this type of system.  相似文献

A reactive brain-computer interface using electroencephalography (EEG) relies on the classification of evoked ERP responses. As the trial-to-trial variation is evitable in EEG signals, it is a challenge to capture the consistent classification features distribution. Clustering EEG trials with similar features and utilizing a specific classifier adjusted to each cluster can improve EEG classification. In this paper, instead of measuring the similarity of ERP features, the brain states during image stimuli presentation that evoked N1 responses were used to group EEG trials. The correlation between momentary phases of pre-stimulus EEG oscillations and N1 amplitudes was analyzed. The results demonstrated that the phases of time–frequency points about 5.3 Hz and 0.3 s before the stimulus onset have significant effect on the ERP classification accuracy. Our findings revealed that N1 components in ERP fluctuated with momentary phases of EEG. We also further studied the influence of pre-stimulus momentary phases on classification of N1 features. Results showed that linear classifiers demonstrated outstanding classification performance when training and testing trials have close momentary phases. Therefore, this gave us a new direction to improve EEG classification by grouping EEG trials with similar pre-stimulus phases and using each to train unit classifiers respectively.  相似文献

EEG classification using Learning Vector Quantization (LVQ) is introduced on the basis of a Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) built in Graz, where a subject controlled a cursor in one dimension on a monitor using potentials recorded from the intact scalp. The method of classification with LVQ is described in detail along with first results on a subject who participated in four on-line cursor control sessions. Using this data, extensive off-line experiments were performed to show the influence of the various parameters of the classifier and the extracted features of the EEG on the classification results.  相似文献

Background  

State-of-the-art signal processing methods are known to detect information in single-trial event-related EEG data, a crucial aspect in development of real-time applications such as brain computer interfaces. This paper investigates one such novel approach, evaluating how individual classifier and feature subset tailoring affects classification of single-trial EEG finger movements. The discrete wavelet transform was used to extract signal features that were classified using linear regression and non-linear neural network models, which were trained and architecturally optimized with evolutionary algorithms. The input feature subsets were also allowed to evolve, thus performing feature selection in a wrapper fashion. Filter approaches were implemented as well by limiting the degree of optimization.  相似文献

This paper proposes an automatic method for artefact removal and noise elimination from scalp electroencephalogram recordings (EEG). The method is based on blind source separation (BSS) and supervised classification and proposes a combination of classical and news features and classes to improve artefact elimination (ocular, high frequency muscle and ECG artefacts). The role of a supplementary step of wavelet denoising (WD) is explored and the interactions between BSS, denoising and classification are analyzed. The results are validated on simulated signals by quantitative evaluation criteria and on real EEG by medical expertise. The proposed methodology successfully rejected a good percentage of artefacts and noise, while preserving almost all the cerebral activity. The “denoised artefact-free” EEG presents a very good improvement compared with recorded raw EEG: 96% of the EEGs are easier to interpret.  相似文献

The recognition of object categories is effortlessly accomplished in everyday life, yet its neural underpinnings remain not fully understood. In this electroencephalography (EEG) study, we used single-trial classification to perform a Representational Similarity Analysis (RSA) of categorical representation of objects in human visual cortex. Brain responses were recorded while participants viewed a set of 72 photographs of objects with a planned category structure. The Representational Dissimilarity Matrix (RDM) used for RSA was derived from confusions of a linear classifier operating on single EEG trials. In contrast to past studies, which used pairwise correlation or classification to derive the RDM, we used confusion matrices from multi-class classifications, which provided novel self-similarity measures that were used to derive the overall size of the representational space. We additionally performed classifications on subsets of the brain response in order to identify spatial and temporal EEG components that best discriminated object categories and exemplars. Results from category-level classifications revealed that brain responses to images of human faces formed the most distinct category, while responses to images from the two inanimate categories formed a single category cluster. Exemplar-level classifications produced a broadly similar category structure, as well as sub-clusters corresponding to natural language categories. Spatiotemporal components of the brain response that differentiated exemplars within a category were found to differ from those implicated in differentiating between categories. Our results show that a classification approach can be successfully applied to single-trial scalp-recorded EEG to recover fine-grained object category structure, as well as to identify interpretable spatiotemporal components underlying object processing. Finally, object category can be decoded from purely temporal information recorded at single electrodes.  相似文献

Use of the dynamic clusters method for automatic extraction of compressed information about recorded EEG signal is presented. The computer first divides the record into quasi-stationary segments by means of adaptive segmentation. Second, the extracted segments are classified by a method of dynamic clusters into homogeneous classes. One part of the used clustering algorithm permits to specify and draw the most typical class members, which may represent the whole studied EEG signal and may be used as input for the further phase of the automatic EEG analysis, i.e. for the classification of the whole EEG records. The above procedure was applied to a 75 sec long EEG record of anaesthetized cat intoxicated by CO.  相似文献

This paper describes the digital signal processing work of a research project for studying children's cognitive processes by analyzing EEG signals during school-related tasks. The EEG being analyzed involves two homologous channels (left and right parietal area), and is recorded on magnetic tapes. The objective of the analysis is to determine if, by examining the alpha band of the ongoing EEG, different school tasks and correct vs incorrect responses can be detected. Analysis of alpha-band calls for the determination of signal power in the 7-12 Hz frequency band (adjusted for the age of the subjects) for each channel as well as correlation between the channels. A digital signal processing scheme implemented on an Apple II microcomputer was developed for such an analysis. The results obtained are discussed.  相似文献

BackgroundThe changes in electroencephalogram (EEG) signals that reflect the changes in physiological structure, cognitive functions, and activities have been observed in healthy aging adults. It is unknown that when the brain aging initiates and whether these age-related alterations can be associated with incipient neurodegenerative diseases in healthy elderly individuals.Materials and methodsWe employed feature extraction and classification methods to classify and compare the EEG signals of middle-aged and elderly age groups. This study included 20 healthy middle-aged and 20 healthy elderly subjects. The EEG signals were recorded during a resting state (eyes-open and eyes-closed) and during a working memory (WM) task using eight electrodes. The minimum redundancy maximum relevance technique was employed in the selection of the optimal feature. Four classification methods, including decision tree, support vector machine, Naïve Bayes, and K-nearest neighbor, were used to distinguish the elderly age group from the middle-aged group based on their EEG signals.ResultsIn the resting state, a good correlation was observed among absolute power delta and theta bands and aging, whereas between beta absolute power and aging, a WM task correlation was observed. The results also indicated that the mean frequency and absolute power might be useful for the prediction and classification of EEG signals in aging individuals. Furthermore, the use of the decision tree method in a WM task state distinguished the elderly group from the middle-aged group with an accuracy of 87.5%.ConclusionsWorking memory could play a vital role in the optimization of classification of EEG signals in aging and discrimination of age-related issues associated with neurodegeneration.  相似文献

In EEG analysis an automatic pattern recognition is of interest. In this paper the usefulness of autoregressive parameters to classify EEG segments recorded during anesthesia is examined. Assuming that the AR parameters are multivariate normally distributed, parametric methods of discriminant analysis can be applied. The results show that AR parameters have high discriminating power and that the lowest error classification rate (smaller than 3%) is obtained by using quadratic discriminant functions. Consequently autoregressive parameters are efficient for classifying EEG segments into general stages of anesthesia.  相似文献

ObjectiveThe initial principal task of a Brain-Computer Interfacing (BCI) research is to extract the best feature set from a raw EEG (Electroencephalogram) signal so that it can be used for the classification of two or multiple different events. The main goal of the paper is to develop a comparative analysis among different feature extraction techniques and classification algorithms.Materials and methodsIn this present investigation, four different methodologies have been adopted to classify the recorded MI (motor imagery) EEG signal, and their comparative study has been reported. Haar Wavelet Energy (HWE), Band Power, Cross-correlation, and Spectral Entropy (SE) based Cross-correlation feature extraction techniques have been considered to obtain the necessary features set from the raw EEG signals. Four different machine learning algorithms, viz. LDA (Linear Discriminant Analysis), QDA (Quadratic Discriminant Analysis), Naïve Bayes, and Decision Tree, have been used to classify the features.ResultsThe best average classification accuracies are 92.50%, 93.12%, 72.26%, and 98.71% using the four methods. Further, these results have been compared with some recent existing methods.ConclusionThe comparative results indicate a significant accuracy level performance improvement of the proposed methods with respect to the existing one. Hence, this presented work can guide to select the best feature extraction method and the classifier algorithm for MI-based EEG signals.  相似文献

Electroencephalographic (EEG) arousals are seen in EEG recordings as an awakening response of the human brain. Sleep apnea is a serious sleep disorder. Severe sleep apnea brings about EEG arousals and sleep for patients with sleep apnea syndrome (SAS) is thus frequently interrupted. The number of respiratory-related arousals during the whole night on PSG recordings is directly related to the quality of sleep. Detecting EEG arousals in the PSG record is thus a significant task for clinical diagnosis in sleep medicine. In this paper, a method for automatic detection of EEG arousals in SAS patients was proposed. To effectively detect respiratory-related arousals, threshold values were determined according to pathological events as sleep apnea and electromyogram (EMG). If resumption of ventilation (end of the apnea interval) was detected, much lower thresholds were adopted for detecting EEG arousals, including relatively doubtful arousals. Conversely, threshold was maintained high when pathological events were undetected. The proposed method was applied to polysomnographic (PSG) records of eight patients with SAS and accuracy of EEG arousal detection was verified by comparative visual inspection. Effectiveness of the proposed method in clinical diagnosis was also investigated.  相似文献

Classification algorithms help predict the qualitative properties of a subject's mental state by extracting useful information from the highly multivariate non-invasive recordings of his brain activity. In particular, applying them to Magneto-encephalography (MEG) and electro-encephalography (EEG) is a challenging and promising task with prominent practical applications to e.g. Brain Computer Interface (BCI). In this paper, we first review the principles of the major classification techniques and discuss their application to MEG and EEG data classification. Next, we investigate the behavior of classification methods using real data recorded during a MEG visuomotor experiment. In particular, we study the influence of the classification algorithm, of the quantitative functional variables used in this classifier, and of the validation method. In addition, our findings suggest that by investigating the distribution of classifier coefficients, it is possible to infer knowledge and construct functional interpretations of the underlying neural mechanisms of the performed tasks. Finally, the promising results reported here (up to 97% classification accuracy on 1-second time windows) reflect the considerable potential of MEG for the continuous classification of mental states.  相似文献

Abnormal long-range temporal correlation (LRTC) in EEG oscillation has been observed in several brain pathologies and mental disorders. This study examined the relationship between the LRTC of broadband EEG oscillation and depression following cerebral infarction with different hemispheric lesions to provide a novel insight into such depressive disorders. Resting EEGs of 16 channels in 18 depressed (9 left and 9 right lesions) and 21 non-depressed (11 left and 10 right lesions) subjects following cerebral infarction and 19 healthy control subjects were analysed by means of detrended fluctuation analysis, a quantitative measurement of LRTC. The difference among groups and the correlation between the severity of depression and LRTC in EEG oscillation were investigated by statistical analysis. The results showed that LRTC of broadband EEG oscillations in depressive subjects was still preserved but attenuated in right hemispheric lesion subjects especially in left pre-frontal and right inferior frontal and posterior temporal regions. Moreover, an association between the severity of psychiatric symptoms and the attenuation of the LRTC was found in frontal, central and temporal regions for stroke subjects with right lesions. A high discriminating ability of the LRTC in the frontal and central regions to distinguish depressive from non-depressive subjects suggested potential feasibility for LRTC as an assessment indicator for depression following right hemispheric cerebral infarction. Different performance of temporal correlation in depressed subjects following the two hemispheric lesions implied complex association between depression and stroke lesion location.  相似文献

This paper considers the problem of automatic characterization and detection of target images in a rapid serial visual presentation (RSVP) task based on EEG data. A novel method that aims to identify single-trial event-related potentials (ERPs) in time-frequency is proposed, and a robust classifier with feature clustering is developed to better utilize the correlated ERP features. The method is applied to EEG recordings of a RSVP experiment with multiple sessions and subjects.The results show that the target image events are mainly characterized by 3 distinct patterns in the time-frequency domain, i.e., a theta band (4.3 Hz) power boosting 300–700 ms after the target image onset, an alpha band (12 Hz) power boosting 500–1000 ms after the stimulus onset, and a delta band (2 Hz) power boosting after 500 ms. The most discriminant time-frequency features are power boosting and are relatively consistent among multiple sessions and subjects.Since the original discriminant time-frequency features are highly correlated, we constructed the uncorrelated features using hierarchical clustering for better classification of target and non-target images. With feature clustering, performance (area under ROC) improved from 0.85 to 0.89 on within-session tests, and from 0.76 to 0.84 on cross-subject tests. The constructed uncorrelated features were more robust than the original discriminant features and corresponded to a number of local regions on the time-frequency plane.
