Abstract
Epilepsy is a chronic central nervous system disorder characterized by recurrent seizures. Not only does epilepsy severely affect the daily life of the patient, but the risk of premature death in patients with epilepsy is three times higher than that of the normal population. Magnetoencephalography (MEG) is a non-invasive, high temporal and spatial resolution electrophysiological data that provides a valid basis for epilepsy diagnosis, and used in clinical practice to locate epileptic foci in patients with epilepsy. It has been shown that MEG helps to identify MRI-negative epilepsy, contributes to clinical decision-making in recurrent seizures after previous epilepsy surgery, that interictal MEG can provide additional localization information than scalp EEG, and complete excision of the stimulation area defined by the MEG has prognostic significance for postoperative seizure control. However, due to the complexity of the MEG signal, it is often difficult to identify subtle but critical changes in MEG through visual inspection, opening up an important area of research for biomedical engineers to investigate and implement intelligent algorithms for epilepsy recognition. At the same time, the use of manual markers requires significant time and labor costs, necessitating the development and use of computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) systems that use classifiers to automatically identify abnormal activity. In this review, we discuss in detail the results of applying various different feature extraction methods on MEG signals with different classifiers for epilepsy detection, subtype determination, and laterality classification. Finally, we also briefly look at the prospects of using MEG for epilepsy-assisted localization (spike detection, high-frequency oscillation detection) due to the unique advantages of MEG for functional area localization in epilepsy, and discuss the limitation of current research status and suggestions for future research. Overall, it is hoped that our review will facilitate the reader to quickly gain a general understanding of the problem of MEG-based epilepsy classification and provide ideas and directions for subsequent research.

Cogn Neurodyn 2023; 17:703-713. [PMID: 37265654 PMCID: PMC10229525 DOI: 10.1007/s11571-022-09857-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/20/2021] [Revised: 06/28/2022] [Accepted: 07/11/2022] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Epilepsy is a chronic disorder caused by excessive electrical discharges. Currently, clinical experts identify the seizure onset zone (SOZ) channel through visual judgment based on long-time intracranial electroencephalogram (iEEG), which is a very time-consuming, difficult and experience-based task. Therefore, there is a need for high-accuracy diagnostic aids to reduce the workload of clinical experts. In this article, we propose a method in which, the iEEG is split into the 20-s segment and for each patient, we ask clinical experts to label a part of the data, which is used to train a model and classify the remaining iEEG data. In recent years, machine learning methods have been successfully applied to solve some medical problems. Filtering, entropy and short-time Fourier transform (STFT) are used for extracting features. We compare them to wavelet transform (WT), empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and other traditional methods with the aim of obtaining the best possible discriminating features. Finally, we look for their medical interpretation, which is important for clinical experts. We achieve high-performance results for SOZ and non-SOZ data classification by using the labeled iEEG data and support vector machine (SVM), fully connected neural network (FCNN) and convolutional neural network (CNN) as classification models. In addition, we introduce the positive unlabeled (PU) learning to further reduce the workload of clinical experts. By using PU learning, we can learn a binary classifier with a small amount of labeled data and a large amount of unlabeled data. This can greatly reduce the amount and difficulty of annotation work by clinical experts. All together, we show that using 105 minutes of labeled data we achieve a classification result of 91.46% on average for multiple patients.

Abstract
Brain biometrics have received increasing attention from the scientific community due to their unique properties compared to traditional biometric methods. Many studies have shown that EEG features are distinct across individuals. In this study, we propose a novel approach by considering spatial patterns of the brain's responses due to visual stimulation at specific frequencies. More specifically, we propose, for the identification of the individuals, to combine common spatial patterns with specialized deep-learning neural networks. The adoption of common spatial patterns gives us the ability to design personalized spatial filters. In addition, with the help of deep neural networks, the spatial patterns are mapped into new (deep) representations where the discrimination between individuals is performed with a high correct recognition rate. We conducted a comprehensive comparison between the performance of the proposed method and several classical methods on two steady-state visual evoked potential datasets consisting of thirty-five and eleven subjects, respectively. Furthermore, our analysis includes a large number of flickering frequencies in the steady-state visual evoked potential experiment. Experiments on these two steady-state visual evoked potential datasets showed the usefulness of our approach in terms of person identification and usability. The proposed method achieved an averaged correct recognition rate of 99% over a large number of frequencies for the visual stimulus.

Abstract
Electroencephalogram (EEG) is one of most effective clinical diagnosis modalities for the localization of epileptic focus. Most current AI solutions use this modality to analyze the EEG signals in an automated manner to identify the epileptic seizure focus. To develop AI system for identifying the epileptic focus, there are many recently-published AI solutions based on biomarkers or statistic features that utilize interictal EEGs. In this review, we survey these solutions and find that they can be divided into three main categories: (i) those that use of biomarkers in EEG signals, including high-frequency oscillation, phase-amplitude coupling, and interictal epileptiform discharges, (ii) others that utilize feature-extraction methods, and (iii) solutions based upon neural networks (an end-to-end approach). We provide a detailed description of seizure focus with clinical diagnosis methods, a summary of the public datasets that seek to reduce the research gap in epilepsy, recent novel performance evaluation criteria used to evaluate the AI systems, and guidelines on when and how to use them. This review also suggests a number of future research challenges that must be overcome in order to design more efficient computer-aided solutions to epilepsy focus detection.

Abstract
Electroencephalogram (EEG) based seizure subtype classification is very important in clinical diagnostics. However, manual seizure subtype classification is expensive and time-consuming, whereas automatic classification usually needs a large number of labeled samples for model training. This paper proposes an EEGNet-based slim deep neural network, which relieves the labeled data requirement in EEG-based seizure subtype classification. A temporal information enhancement module with sinusoidal encoding is used to augment the first convolution layer of EEGNet. A training strategy for automatic hyper-parameter selection is also proposed. Experiments on the public TUSZ dataset and our own CHSZ dataset with infants and children demonstrated that our proposed TIE-EEGNet outperformed several traditional and deep learning models in cross-subject seizure subtype classification. Additionally, it also achieved the best performance in a challenging transfer learning scenario. Both our code and the CHSZ dataset are publicized.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Electrical status epilepticus during slow sleep (ESES) is a phenomenon identified by strong activation of epileptiform activity in the electroencephalogram (EEG) during sleep. For children disturbed by ESES, spike-wave index (SWI) is defined to quantify the epileptiform activity in the EEG during sleep. Accurate SWI quantification is important for clinical diagnosis and prognosis. To quantify SWI automatically, a deep learning method is proposed in this paper. APPROACH Firstly, a pre-labeling algorithm (PreLA) composed of the adaptive wavelet enhanced decomposition and a slow-wave discrimination rule is designed to efficiently label the EEG signal. It enables the collection of large-scale EEG dataset with fine-grained labels. Then, an SWI Quantification Neural Network (SQNN) is constructed to accurately classify each sample point as normal or abnormal and to identify the abnormal events. SWI can be calculated automatically based on the total duration of abnormalities and the length of the signal. MAIN RESULTS Experiments on two datasets demonstrate that the PreLA is effective and robust for labeling the EEG data and the SQNN accurately and reliably quantifies SWI without using any thresholds. The average estimation error of SWI is 3.12%, indicating that our method is more accurate and robust than experts and previous related works. The processing speed of SQNN is 100 times faster than that of experts. SIGNIFICANCE Deep learning provides a novel approach to automatic SWI quantification and PreLA provides an easy way to label the EEG data with ESES syndromes. The results of the experiments indicate that the proposed method has a high potential for clinical diagnosis and prognosis of epilepsy in children.

Abstract
The benign epilepsy with spinous waves in the central temporal region (BECT) is the one of the most common epileptic syndromes in children, that seriously threaten the nervous system development of children. The most obvious feature of BECT is the existence of a large number of electroencephalogram (EEG) spikes in the Rolandic area during the interictal period, that is an important basis to assist neurologists in BECT diagnosis. With this regard, the paper proposes a novel BECT spike detection algorithm based on time domain EEG sequence features and the long short-term memory (LSTM) neural network. Three time domain sequence features, that can obviously characterize the spikes of BECT, are extracted for EEG representation. The synthetic minority oversampling technique (SMOTE) is applied to address the spike imbalance issue in EEGs, and the bi-directional LSTM (BiLSTM) is trained for spike detection. The algorithm is evaluated using the EEG data of 15 BECT patients recorded from the Children's Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine (CHZU). The experiment shows that the proposed algorithm can obtained an average of 88.54% F1 score, 92.04% sensitivity, and 85.75% precision, that generally outperforms several state-of-the-art spike detection methods.

Abstract
Objective.Background noise experienced during extracellular neural recording limits the number of spikes that can be reliably detected, which ultimately limits the performance of next-generation neuroscientific work. In this study, we aim to utilize stochastic resonance (SR), a technique that can help identify weak signals in noisy environments, to enhance spike detectability.Approach.Previously, an SR-based pre-emphasis algorithm was proposed, where a particle inside a 1D potential well is exerted by a force defined by the extracellular recording, and the output is obtained as the displacement of the particle. In this study, we investigate how the well shape and damping status impact the output signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). We compare the overdamped and underdamped solutions of shallow- and steep-wall monostable wells and bistable wells in terms of SNR improvement using two synthetic datasets. Then, we assess the spike detection performance when thresholding is applied on the output of the well shape-damping status configuration giving the best SNR enhancement.Main results.The SNR depends on the well-shape and damping-status type as well as the input noise level. The underdamped solution of the shallow-wall monostable well can yield to more than four orders of magnitude greater SNR improvement compared to other configurations for low noise intensities. Using this configuration also results in better spike detection sensitivity and positive predictivity than the state-of-the-art spike detection algorithms for a public synthetic dataset. For larger noise intensities, the overdamped solution of the steep-wall monostable well provides better spike enhancement than the others.Significance.The dependence of SNR improvement on the input signal noise level can be used to design a detector with multiple outputs, each more sensitive to a certain distance from the electrode. Such a detector can potentially enhance the performance of a successive spike sorting stage.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE The human brain displays rich and complex patterns of interaction within and among brain networks that involve both cortical and subcortical brain regions. Due to the limited spatial resolution of surface electroencephalography (EEG), EEG source imaging is used to reconstruct brain sources and investigate their spatial and temporal dynamics. The majority of EEG source imaging methods fail to detect activity from subcortical brain structures. The reconstruction of subcortical sources is a challenging task because the signal from these sources is weakened and mixed with artifacts and other signals from cortical sources. In this proof-of-principle study we present a novel EEG source imaging method, the regional spatiotemporal Kalman filter (RSTKF), that can detect deep brain activity. METHODS The regional spatiotemporal Kalman filter (RSTKF) is a generalization of the spatiotemporal Kalman filter (STKF), which allows for the characterization of different regional dynamics in the brain. It is based on state-space modeling with spatially heterogeneous dynamical noise variances, since models with spatial and temporal homogeneity fail to describe the dynamical complexity of brain activity. First, RSTKF is tested using simulated EEG data from sources in the frontal lobe, putamen, and thalamus. After that, it is applied to non-averaged interictal epileptic spikes from a presurgical epilepsy patient with focal epileptic activity in the amygdalo-hippocampal complex. The results of RSTKF are compared to those of low-resolution brain electromagnetic tomography (LORETA) and of standard STKF. RESULTS Only RSTKF is successful in consistently and accurately localizing the sources in deep brain regions. Additionally, RSTKF shows improved spatial resolution compared to LORETA and STKF. CONCLUSIONS RSTKF is a generalization of STKF that allows for accurate, focal, and consistent localization of sources, especially in the deeper brain areas. In contrast to standard source imaging methods, RSTKF may find application in the localization of the epileptogenic zone in deeper brain structures, such as mesial frontal and temporal lobe epilepsies, especially in EEG recordings for which no reliable averaged spike shape can be obtained due to lack of the necessary number of spikes required to reach a certain signal-to-noise ratio level after averaging.

Abstract
Automated emotion recognition (AEE) is an important issue in various fields of activities which use human emotional reactions as a signal for marketing, technical equipment, or human-robot interaction. This paper analyzes scientific research and technical papers for sensor use analysis, among various methods implemented or researched. This paper covers a few classes of sensors, using contactless methods as well as contact and skin-penetrating electrodes for human emotion detection and the measurement of their intensity. The results of the analysis performed in this paper present applicable methods for each type of emotion and their intensity and propose their classification. The classification of emotion sensors is presented to reveal area of application and expected outcomes from each method, as well as their limitations. This paper should be relevant for researchers using human emotion evaluation and analysis, when there is a need to choose a proper method for their purposes or to find alternative decisions. Based on the analyzed human emotion recognition sensors and methods, we developed some practical applications for humanizing the Internet of Things (IoT) and affective computing systems.

Abstract
Over several years, research had been conducted for the detection of epileptic seizures to support an automatic diagnosis system to comfort the clinicians' encumbrance. In this regard, a number of research papers have been published for the identification of epileptic seizures. A thorough review of all these papers is required. So, an attempt has been made to review on the pattern detection methods for epilepsy seizure detection from EEG signals. More than 150 research papers have been discussed to determine the techniques for detecting epileptic seizures. Further, the literature review confirms that the pattern recognition techniques required to detect epileptic seizures varies across the electroencephalogram (EEG) datasets of different conditions. This is mostly owing to the fact that EEG detected under different conditions have different characteristics. This consecutively necessitates the identification of the pattern recognition technique to efficiently differentiate EEG epileptic data from the EEG data of various conditions.

Abstract
Objective: To improve the accuracy of detecting the ictal onset zone, we propose to enhance the epilepsy-related activity present in the EEG signals, before mapping their BOLD correlates through EEG-correlated fMRI analysis. Methods: Based solely on a segmentation of interictal epileptic discharges (IEDs) on the EEG, we train multi-channel Wiener filters (MWF) which enhance IED-like waveforms, and suppress background activity and noisy influences. Subsequently, we use EEG-correlated fMRI to find the brain regions in which the BOLD signal fluctuation corresponds to the filtered signals' time-varying power (after convolving with the hemodynamic response function), and validate the identified regions by quantitatively comparing them to ground-truth maps of the (resected or hypothesized) ictal onset zone. We validate the performance of this novel predictor vs. that of commonly used unitary or power-weighted predictors and a recently introduced connectivity-based metric, on a cohort of 12 patients with refractory epilepsy. Results: The novel predictor, derived from the filtered EEG signals, allowed the detection of the ictal onset zone in a larger percentage of epileptic patients (92% vs. at most 83% for the other predictors), and with higher statistical significance, compared to existing predictors. At the same time, the new method maintains maximal specificity by not producing false positive activations in healthy controls. Significance: The findings of this study advocate for the use of the MWF to maximize the signal-to-noise ratio of IED-like events in the interictal EEG, and subsequently use time-varying power as a sensitive predictor of the BOLD signal, to localize the ictal onset zone.

A network analysis based approach to characterizing periodic sharp wave complexes in electroencephalograms of patients with sporadic CJD. Int J Med Inform 2018; 121:19-29.

Abstract
Creutzfeldt-Jacob disease (CJD) is a rapidly progressive, uniformly fatal transmissible spongiform encephalopathy. Sporadic CJD (sCJD) is the most common form of CJD. Electroencephalography (EEG) is one of the main methods to perform clinical diagnosis of CJD, mainly because of periodic sharp wave complexes (PSWCs). In this paper, we propose a network analysis based approach to characterizing PSWCs in EEGs of patients with sCJD. Our approach associates a network with each EEG at disposal and defines a new numerical coefficient and some network motifs, which characterize the presence of PSWCs in an EEG tracing. The new coefficient, called connection coefficient, and the detected network motifs are capable of characterizing the EEG tracing segments with PSWCs. Furthermore, network motifs are able to detect what are the most active and/or connected brain areas in the tracing segments with PSWCs. The results obtained show that, analogously to what happens for other neurological diseases, network analysis can be successfully exploited to investigate sCJD.

Abstract
Over many decades, research is being attempted for the detection of epileptic seizure to support for automatic diagnosis system to help clinicians from burdensome work. In this respect, an enormous number of research papers is published for identification of epileptic seizure. It is difficult to present a detailed review of all these literature. Therefore, in this paper, an attempt has been made to review the detection of an epileptic seizure. More than 100 research papers have been discussed to discern the techniques for detecting the epileptic seizure. Further, the literature survey shows that the pattern recognition required to detect epileptic seizure varies with different conditions of EEG datasets. This is mainly due to the fact that EEG detected under different conditions has different characteristics. This is, in turn, necessitates the identification of pattern recognition technique to effectively distinguish EEG epileptic data from a various condition of EEG data.

Abstract
Fatigue driving is bringing more and more serious harm, but there are various reasons for fatigue driving, it is still difficult to test the driver’s fatigue. This paper defines a method to test driver’s fatigue based on the EEG, and different from other researches into fatigue driving, this paper mainly takes the fatigue features of EEG signals in fatigue state and uses wavelet entropy as the feature extraction method to analyze the features of wavelet entropy and spectral entropy features as well as the classification accuracy under the same classifier. The SVM is used to show the classifier’s results. The accuracy of the driver fatigue state monitoring using the wavelet entropy is 90.7%, which is higher than the use of spectral entropy as the characteristic accuracy rate of 81.3%. The results show that the frequency characteristics of EEG can be well applied to driving fatigue testing, but different frequency feature calculation methods will affect the classification accuracy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND EEG interpretation relies on experts who are in short supply. There is a great need for automated pattern recognition systems to assist with interpretation. However, attempts to develop such systems have been limited by insufficient expert-annotated data. To address these issues, we developed a system named NeuroBrowser for EEG review and rapid waveform annotation. NEW METHODS At the core of NeuroBrowser lies on ultrafast template matching under Dynamic Time Warping, which substantially accelerates the task of annotation. RESULTS Our results demonstrate that NeuroBrowser can reduce the time required for annotation of interictal epileptiform discharges by EEG experts by 20-90%, with an average of approximately 70%. COMPARISON WITH EXISTING METHOD(S) In comparison with conventional manual EEG annotation, NeuroBrowser is able to save EEG experts approximately 70% on average of the time spent in annotating interictal epileptiform discharges. We have already extracted 19,000+ interictal epileptiform discharges from 100 patient EEG recordings. To our knowledge this represents the largest annotated database of interictal epileptiform discharges in existence. CONCLUSION NeuroBrowser is an integrated system for rapid waveform annotation. While the algorithm is currently tailored to annotation of interictal epileptiform discharges in scalp EEG recordings, the concepts can be easily generalized to other waveforms and signal types.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Electroencephalography (EEG) is an important tool in the diagnosis of epilepsy. Interictal spikes on EEG are used to monitor the development of epilepsy and the effects of drug therapy. EEG recordings are generally long and the data voluminous. Thus developing a sensitive and reliable automated algorithm for analyzing EEG data is necessary. APPROACH A new algorithm for detecting and classifying interictal spikes in mouse EEG recordings is proposed, based on the adapted continuous wavelet transform (CWT). The construction of the adapted mother wavelet is founded on a template obtained from a sample comprising the first few minutes of an EEG data set. MAIN RESULT The algorithm was tested with EEG data from a mouse model of epilepsy and experimental results showed that the algorithm could distinguish EEG spikes from other transient waveforms with a high degree of sensitivity and specificity. SIGNIFICANCE Differing from existing approaches, the proposed approach combines wavelet denoising, to isolate transient signals, with adapted CWT-based template matching, to detect true interictal spikes. Using the adapted wavelet constructed from a predefined template, the adapted CWT is calculated on small EEG segments to fit dynamical changes in the EEG recording.

Abstract
In this paper, we first presents a high accuracy epileptic electroencephalogram (EEG) classification algorithm. EEG data of epilepsy patients are preprocessed, segmented, and decomposed to intrinsic mode functions, from which features are extracted. Two classifiers are trained based on linear discriminant analysis (LDA) to classify EEG data into three types, i.e., normal, spike, and seizure. We further in-depth investigate the changes of the decision values in LDA on continuous EEG data. An epileptic EEG visualization and sonification algorithm is proposed to provide both temporal and spatial information of spike and seizure of epilepsy patients. In the experiment, EEG data of six subjects (two normal and four seizure patients) are included. The experiment result shows the proposed epileptic EEG classification algorithm achieves high accuracy. As well, the visualization and sonification algorithm exhibits a great help in nursing seizure patients and localizing the area of seizures.

Abstract
Automatic detection of seizures has vital significance for epileptic diagnosis and can efficiently reduce the workload of the medical staff. In this study, a novel seizure detection method based on Stockwell transform is proposed for intracranial long-term EEG data. The Stockwell transform is employed to obtain the time-frequency representation of the EEG signals, and then the power spectral density is calculated in the time-frequency plane to characterize the behavior of EEG recordings. After that, a classifier based on gradient boosting algorithm is used to make the classification. Finally, the postprocessing is utilized on the outputs of the classifier to obtain more stable and accurate detection results, which includes Kalman filter, threshold judgment, and collar technique. The performance of this method is assessed on the publicly available EEG database which contains approximately 533h of intracranial EEG recordings. The experimental results indicate that the proposed method can achieve a satisfactory sensitivity of 94.26%, a specificity of 96.34%, as well as a very short delay time of 0.56s.

Abstract
While an electrode has allowed for simultaneously recording the activity of many neurons in microelectrode extracellular recording techniques, quantitative metrics of cluster quality after sorting to identify clusters suited for single unit analysis are lacking. In this paper, an objective measure based on the idea of neighborhood component analysis was described for evaluating cluster quality of spikes. The proposed method was tested with experimental and simulated extracellular recordings as well as compared to isolation distance and Lratio. The results of simulation and real data from the rodent primary visual cortex have shown that values of the proposed method were related to the accuracy of spike sorting, which could discriminate well- and poorly-separated clusters. It can apply on any study based on the activity of single neurons.

Feature selection and classifier parameters estimation for EEG signals peak detection using particle swarm optimization. ScientificWorldJournal 2014; 2014:973063.

Abstract
Electroencephalogram (EEG) signal peak detection is widely used in clinical applications. The peak point can be detected using several approaches, including time, frequency, time-frequency, and nonlinear domains depending on various peak features from several models. However, there is no study that provides the importance of every peak feature in contributing to a good and generalized model. In this study, feature selection and classifier parameters estimation based on particle swarm optimization (PSO) are proposed as a framework for peak detection on EEG signals in time domain analysis. Two versions of PSO are used in the study: (1) standard PSO and (2) random asynchronous particle swarm optimization (RA-PSO). The proposed framework tries to find the best combination of all the available features that offers good peak detection and a high classification rate from the results in the conducted experiments. The evaluation results indicate that the accuracy of the peak detection can be improved up to 99.90% and 98.59% for training and testing, respectively, as compared to the framework without feature selection adaptation. Additionally, the proposed framework based on RA-PSO offers a better and reliable classification rate as compared to standard PSO as it produces low variance model.

Abstract
Interictal epileptiform discharges (spikes, IEDs) are electrographic markers of epileptic tissue and their quantification is utilized in planning of surgical resection. Visual analysis of long-term multi-channel intracranial recordings is extremely laborious and prone to bias. Development of new and reliable techniques of automatic spike detection represents a crucial step towards increasing the information yield of intracranial recordings and to improve surgical outcome. In this study, we designed a novel and robust detection algorithm that adaptively models statistical distributions of signal envelopes and enables discrimination of signals containing IEDs from signals with background activity. This detector demonstrates performance superior both to human readers and to an established detector. It is even capable of identifying low-amplitude IEDs which are often missed by experts and which may represent an important source of clinical information. Application of the detector to non-epileptic intracranial data from patients with intractable facial pain revealed the existence of sharp transients with waveforms reminiscent of interictal discharges that can represent biological sources of false positive detections. Identification of these transients enabled us to develop and propose secondary processing steps, which may exclude these transients, improving the detector's specificity and having important implications for future development of spike detectors in general.

Abstract
Many diseases associated with mental deterioration among aged patients can be effectively treated using neurological treatments. Research shows that electroencephalography (EEG) can be used as an independent prognostic indicator of morbidity and mortality. Unfortunately, EEG data are typically inaccessible to modern software. It is therefore important to design a comprehensive approach to integrate EEG results into institutional medical systems. A customized EEG system utilizing a database management approach was designed to bridge the gap between the commercial EEG software and hospital data management platforms. Practical and useful medical findings are discoursed from statistical analysis of large amounts of EEG data.

Abstract
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.

Abstract
This study concerns the influence of visuomotor rotating disturbance on motion dynamics and brain activity. It involves using a PC-mouse and introducing a predefined bias angle between the direction of motion of the mouse pointer and that of the screen cursor. Subjects were asked to execute three different tasks, designed to study the effect of visuomotor rotation on direction control, extent control or the two together. During each task, mouse movement, screen cursor movement and electroencephalograph (EEG) signals were recorded. An algorithm was used to detect and discard EEG signals contaminated by artifacts. Movement performance indexes and brain activity are used to evaluate motion control, tracking ability, learning and control. The results suggest the direction control is planned before the movement and controlled by an adaptive control while extent control is controlled by a real-time feedback. The measurements also confirm that increased motion and/or brain activity occur for bias angles in the ranges ±(90-120°) for both direction and extension controls. After-effects when changing the angle of visual rotation have been seen to be proportional to the variation in the adaptation angle.

Abstract
Increasing interest in understanding dynamic interactions of brain neural networks leads to formulation of sophisticated connectivity analysis methods. Recent studies have applied Granger causality based on standard multivariate autoregressive (MAR) modeling to assess the brain connectivity. Nevertheless, one important flaw of this commonly proposed method is that it requires the analyzed time series to be stationary, whereas such assumption is mostly violated due to the weakly nonstationary nature of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) time series. Therefore, we propose an approach to dynamic Granger causality in the frequency domain for evaluating functional network connectivity in fMRI data. The effectiveness and robustness of the dynamic approach was significantly improved by combining a forward and backward Kalman filter that improved estimates compared to the standard time-invariant MAR modeling. In our method, the functional networks were first detected by independent component analysis (ICA), a computational method for separating a multivariate signal into maximally independent components. Then the measure of Granger causality was evaluated using generalized partial directed coherence that is suitable for bivariate as well as multivariate data. Moreover, this metric provides identification of causal relation in frequency domain, which allows one to distinguish the frequency components related to the experimental paradigm. The procedure of evaluating Granger causality via dynamic MAR was demonstrated on simulated time series as well as on two sets of group fMRI data collected during an auditory sensorimotor (SM) or auditory oddball discrimination (AOD) tasks. Finally, a comparison with the results obtained from a standard time-invariant MAR model was provided.

Abstract
In the diagnosis and treatment of epilepsy, long-term monitoring may be required to document and study interictal activities such as interictal spikes. However, visual inspection of the EEG done by an expert is too time consuming and researchers normally resort to automatic detection methods. We describe a new EEG user-guided interictal spike detection algorithm that only requires the user to annotate a few spikes. We use the annotations to build a template that captures the relevant features of spikes, and then use Mean Squared Error (MSE) test to detect all of the other spikes in the recording. The detected events are rank ordered so that the user can easily identify the true spikes and their time of occurrence. The true spikes are then annotated to the EEG signals and reported to the EEG expert for further evaluation. This design provides a compromise between the enormous time commitments necessary to annotate recordings by hand and the inability of fully-automatic spike detection algorithms to account for the variability between subjects. Because spike morphology and spatial distribution change considerably when patients go through cycles of wake and sleep in long-term monitoring, this detection algorithm uses multichannel multiple templates to detect more than one type of event. The algorithm is able to achieve an average sensitivity of 96% and an average of 4.8 false detections/ hour.
