Abstract
Classifying individuals with neurological disorders and healthy subjects using EEG is a crucial area of research. The current feature extraction approach focuses on the frequency domain features in each of the EEG frequency bands and functional brain networks. In recent years, researchers have discovered and extensively studied stability differences in the electroencephalograms (EEG) of patients with neurological disorders. Based on this, this paper proposes a feature descriptor to characterize EEG instability. The proposed method starts by forming a signal point cloud through Phase Space Reconstruction (PSR). Subsequently, a pseudo-metric space is constructed, and pseudo-distances are calculated based on the consistent measure of the point cloud. Finally, Distance to Measure (DTM) Function are generated to replace the distance function in the original metric space. We calculated the relative distances in the point cloud by measuring signal similarity and, based on this, summarized the point cloud structures formed by EEG with different stabilities after PSR. This process demonstrated that Multivariate Kernel Density Estimation (MKDE) based on a Gaussian kernel can effectively separate the mappings of different stable components within the signal in the phase space. The two average DTM values are then proposed as feature descriptors for EEG instability.In the validation phase, the proposed feature descriptor is tested on three typical neurological disorders: epilepsy, Alzheimer's disease, and Parkinson's disease, using the Bonn dataset, CHB-MIT, the Florida State University dataset, and the Iowa State University dataset. DTM values are used as feature inputs for four different machine learning classifiers, and The results show that the best classification accuracy of the proposed method reaches 98.00 %, 96.25 %, 96.71 % and 95.34 % respectively, outperforming commonly used nonlinear descriptors. Finally, the proposed method is tested and analyzed using noisy signals, demonstrating its robustness compared to other methods.

Abstract
Brain disorders pose a substantial global health challenge, persisting as a leading cause of mortality worldwide. Electroencephalogram (EEG) analysis is crucial for diagnosing brain disorders, but it can be challenging for medical practitioners to interpret complex EEG signals and make accurate diagnoses. To address this, our study focuses on visualizing complex EEG signals in a format easily understandable by medical professionals and deep learning algorithms. We propose a novel time-frequency (TF) transform called the Forward-Backward Fourier transform (FBFT) and utilize convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to extract meaningful features from TF images and classify brain disorders. We introduce the concept of eye-naked classification, which integrates domain-specific knowledge and clinical expertise into the classification process. Our study demonstrates the effectiveness of the FBFT method, achieving impressive accuracies across multiple brain disorders using CNN-based classification. Specifically, we achieve accuracies of 99.82% for epilepsy, 95.91% for Alzheimer's disease (AD), 85.1% for murmur, and 100% for mental stress using CNN-based classification. Furthermore, in the context of naked-eye classification, we achieve accuracies of 78.6%, 71.9%, 82.7%, and 91.0% for epilepsy, AD, murmur, and mental stress, respectively. Additionally, we incorporate a mean correlation coefficient (mCC) based channel selection method to enhance the accuracy of our classification further. By combining these innovative approaches, our study enhances the visualization of EEG signals, providing medical professionals with a deeper understanding of TF medical images. This research has the potential to bridge the gap between image classification and visual medical interpretation, leading to better disease detection and improved patient care in the field of neuroscience.

Abstract
The electroencephalogram (EEG) based motor imagery (MI) signal classification, also known as motion recognition, is a highly popular area of research due to its applications in robotics, gaming, and medical fields. However, the problem is ill-posed as these signals are non-stationary and noisy. Recently, a lot of efforts have been made to improve MI signal classification using a combination of signal decomposition and machine learning techniques but they fail to perform adequately on large multi-class datasets. Previously, researchers have implemented long short-term memory (LSTM), which is capable of learning the time-series information, on the MI-EEG dataset for motion recognition. However, it can not model very long-term dependencies present in the motion recognition data. With the advent of transformer networks in natural language processing (NLP), the long-term dependency issue has been widely addressed. Motivated by the success of transformer algorithms, in this article, we propose a transformer-based deep learning neural network architecture that performs motion recognition on the raw BCI competition III IVa and IV 2a datasets. The validation results show that the proposed method achieves superior performance than the existing state-of-the-art methods. The proposed method produces classification accuracy of 99.7% and 84% on the binary class and the multi-class datasets, respectively. Further, the performance of the proposed transformer-based model is also compared with LSTM.

COMPUTER METHODS AND PROGRAMS IN BIOMEDICINE 2023; 240:107680. [PMID: 37459774 DOI: 10.1016/j.cmpb.2023.107680] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/15/2023] [Revised: 06/07/2023] [Accepted: 06/14/2023] [Indexed: 08/29/2023]
Abstract
CONTEXT Epilepsy, characterized by recurrent seizures, is a chronic brain disease that affects approximately 50 million. Recurrent seizures characterize it. A seizure, a burst of uncontrolled electrical activity between brain cells, results in temporary changes in behavior, level of consciousness, and involuntary movements. An accurate prediction of seizures can improve the standard of living in epileptic subjects. The increasing capabilities of machine learning and computer-assisted devices can detect seizures accurately with minimal human intervention. PROPOSED APPROACH This paper proposes a method to detect seizure and non-seizure events using superlet transform (SLT) and a deep convolution neural network: VGG-19. The electroencephalogram (EEG) dataset from the University of Bonn is used to validate the efficacy of the proposed method. METHODOLOGY SLT, a high-resolution time-frequency technique, converts EEG records into two-dimensional (2-D) images. SLT provides a high-resolution time-frequency representation reflecting the oscillation bursts in an EEG record. The time-frequency representations as 2-D images are fed to a pre-trained convolutional neural network: VGG-19. The last layers of VGG-19 are replaced with new layers to accommodate the different classification problems. RESULTS The proposed method achieved an accuracy of 100% for all seven seizure and non-seizure detection cases considered in this work. In the case of three and five-class classification problems, the proposed method has better accuracy than other existing methods. The CHB-MIT scalp EEG database is also used to assess the effectiveness of the proposed method, which achieved a classification accuracy of 94.3% in distinguishing between seizure and non-seizure events. CONCLUSION The results obtained using the proposed methodology show the efficacy of the proposed method in accurately detecting seizures and other brain activity with the least pre-processing and human involvement. The proposed method can assist medical practitioners by saving their effort and time.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by slowed movements, speech disorders, an inability to control muscle movements, and tremors in the hands and feet. In the early stages of PD, the changes in these motor signs are very vague, so an objective and accurate diagnosis is difficult. The disease is complex, progressive, and very common. There are more than 10 million people worldwide suffering from PD. In this study, an EEG-based deep learning model was proposed for the automatic detection of PD to support experts. The EEG dataset comprises signals recorded by the University of Iowa from 14 PD patients and 14 healthy controls. First of all, the power spectral density values (PSDs) of the frequencies between 1 and 49 Hz of the EEG signals were calculated separately using periodogram, welch, and multitaper spectral analysis methods. 49 feature vectors were extracted for each of the three different experiments. Then, the performances of support vector machine, random forest, k-nearest neighbor, and bidirectional long-short-term memory (BiLSTM) algorithms were compared using the PSDs feature vectors. After the comparison, the model integrating welch spectral analysis and the BiLSTM algorithm showed the highest performance as a result of the experiments. The deep learning model achieved satisfactory performance with 0.965 specificity, 0.994 sensitivity, 0.964 precision, 0.978 f1-score, 0.958 Matthews correlation coefficient, and 97.92% accuracy. The study is a promising attempt to detect PD from EEG signals and it also provides evidence that deep learning algorithms are more effective than machine learning algorithms for EEG signal analysis.

Abstract
Epilepsy detection based on electroencephalogram (EEG) is important for the diagnosis and treatment of epilepsy. The existing feature extraction method not only consumes a lot of time but also leads to epilepsy information loss because of nonideal denoising. Therefore, the paper proposes to use noisy EEG signals to detect epilepsy. The original EEG signal is divided into normal signal and abnormal signal by Riemann potato, and the epilepsy detection model is established based on the normal signal and abnormal signal, respectively. Finally, the 2 detection results are combined as a final result. The detection performance of 94.84%, 83.03% sensitivity, and 97.67% specificity is achieved. The experimental results show that the original noisy signal which is separated by the Riemann potato can have high epilepsy detection performance.

Abstract
Simple Summary This study represents a resourceful review article that can deliver resources on neurological diseases and their implemented classification algorithms to reveal the future direction of researchers. Researchers interested in studying neurological diseases and previously implemented techniques in this field can follow this article. Various challenges occur in detecting different stages of the disorders. A limited amount of labeled and unlabeled datasets and other limitations is represented in this article to assist them in finding out the directions. The authors’ purpose for composing this article is to make a straightforward and concrete path for researchers to quickly find the way and the scope in this field for implementing future research on neurological disease detection. Abstract Neurological disorders (NDs) are becoming more common, posing a concern to pregnant women, parents, healthy infants, and children. Neurological disorders arise in a wide variety of forms, each with its own set of origins, complications, and results. In recent years, the intricacy of brain functionalities has received a better understanding due to neuroimaging modalities, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), magnetoencephalography (MEG), and positron emission tomography (PET), etc. With high-performance computational tools and various machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) methods, these modalities have discovered exciting possibilities for identifying and diagnosing neurological disorders. This study follows a computer-aided diagnosis methodology, leading to an overview of pre-processing and feature extraction techniques. The performance of existing ML and DL approaches for detecting NDs is critically reviewed and compared in this article. A comprehensive portion of this study also shows various modalities and disease-specified datasets that detect and records images, signals, and speeches, etc. Limited related works are also summarized on NDs, as this domain has significantly fewer works focused on disease and detection criteria. Some of the standard evaluation metrics are also presented in this study for better result analysis and comparison. This research has also been outlined in a consistent workflow. At the conclusion, a mandatory discussion section has been included to elaborate on open research challenges and directions for future work in this emerging field.

Abstract
Analysis of long-term multichannel EEG signals for automatic seizure detection is an active area of research that has seen application of methods from different domains of signal processing and machine learning. The majority of approaches developed in this context consist of extraction of hand-crafted features that are used to train a classifier for eventual seizure detection. Approaches that are data-driven, do not use hand-crafted features, and use small amounts of patients' historical EEG data for classifier training are few in number. The approach presented in this paper falls in the latter category, and is based on a signal-derived empirical dictionary approach, which utilizes empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and discrete wavelet transform (DWT) based dictionaries learned using a framework inspired by traditional methods of dictionary learning. Three features associated with traditional dictionary learning approaches, namely projection coefficients, coefficient vector and reconstruction error, are extracted from both EMD and DWT based dictionaries for automated seizure detection. This is the first time these features have been applied for automatic seizure detection using an empirical dictionary approach. Small amounts of patients' historical multi-channel EEG data are used for classifier training, and multiple classifiers are used for seizure detection using newer data. In addition, the seizure detection results are validated using 5-fold cross-validation to rule out any bias in the results. The CHB-MIT benchmark database containing long-term EEG recordings of pediatric patients is used for validation of the approach, and seizure detection performance comparable to the state-of-the-art is obtained. Seizure detection is performed using five classifiers, thereby allowing a comparison of the dictionary approaches, features extracted, and classifiers used. The best seizure detection performance is obtained using EMD based dictionary and reconstruction error feature and support vector machine classifier, with accuracy, sensitivity and specificity values of 88.2, 90.3, and 88.1%, respectively. Comparison is also made with other recent studies using the same database. The methodology presented in this paper is shown to be computationally efficient and robust for patient-specific automatic seizure detection. A data-driven methodology utilizing a small amount of patients' historical data is hence demonstrated as a practical solution for automatic seizure detection.
