Abstract
OBJECTIVES Electrocardiogram (ECG) signals are extensively utilized in the identification and assessment of diverse cardiac conditions, including congestive heart failure (CHF) and cardiac arrhythmias (ARR), which present potential hazards to human health. With the aim of facilitating disease diagnosis and assessment, advanced computer-aided systems are being developed to analyze ECG signals. METHODS This study proposes a state-of-the-art ECG data pattern recognition algorithm based on Continuous Wavelet Transform (CWT) as a novel signal preprocessing model. The Motif Transformation (MT) method was devised to diminish the drawbacks and limitations inherent in the CWT, such as the issue of boundary effects, limited localization in time and frequency, and overfitting conditions. This transformation technique facilitates the formation of diverse patterns (motifs) within the signals. The patterns (motifs) are constructed by comparing the amplitudes of each individual sample value in the ECG signals in terms of their largeness and smallness. In the subsequent stage, the obtained one-dimensional signals from the MT transformation were subjected to CWT to obtain scalogram images. In the last stage, the obtained scalogram images were subjected to classification using DenseNET deep transfer learning techniques. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS The combined approach of MT + CWT + DenseNET yielded an impressive success rate of 99.31 %.

Abstract
Prompt diagnosis of epilepsy relies on accurate classification of automated electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. Several approaches have been developed to characterize epileptic EEG data; however, none of them have exploited time-frequency data to evaluate the effect of tweaking parameters in pretrained frameworks for EEG data classification. This study compares the performance of several pretrained convolutional neural networks (CNNs) namely, AlexNet, GoogLeNet, MobileNetV2, ResNet-18 and SqueezeNet for the localization of epilepsy EEG data using various time-frequency data representation algorithms. Continuous wavelet transform (CWT), empirical Fourier decomposition (EFD), empirical mode decomposition (EMD), empirical wavelet transform (EWT), and variational mode decomposition (VMD) were exploited for the acquisition of 2D scalograms from 1D data. The research evaluates the effect of multiple factors, including noisy versus denoised scalograms, different optimizers, learning rates, single versus dual channels, model size, and computational time consumption. The benchmark Bern-Barcelona EEG dataset is used for testing purpose. Results obtained show that the combination of MobileNetV2, Continuous Wavelet Transform (CWT) and Adam optimizer at a learning rate of 10-4, coupled with dual-data channels, provides the best performance metrics. Specifically, these parameters result in optimal sensitivity, specificity, f1-score, and classification accuracy, with respective values of 96.06%, 96.15%, 96.08%, and 96.10%. To further corroborate the efficacy of opted pretrained models on exploited Signal Decomposition (SD) algorithms, the classifiers are also being simulated on Temple University database at pinnacle modeling composition. A similar pattern in the outcome readily validate the findings of our study and robustness of deep learning models on epilepsy EEG scalograms.The conclusions drawn emphasize the potential of pretrained CNN-based models to create a robust, automated system for diagnosing epileptiform. Furthermore, the study offers insights into the effectiveness of varying time-frequency techniques and classifier parameters for classifying epileptic EEG data.

Abstract
REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is a parasomnia with dream enactment and presence of REM sleep without atonia (RSWA). RBD diagnosed manually via polysomnography (PSG) scoring, which is time intensive. Isolated RBD (iRBD) is also associated with a high probability of conversion to Parkinson's disease. Diagnosis of iRBD is largely based on clinical evaluation and subjective PSG ratings of REM sleep without atonia. Here we show the first application of a novel spectral vision transformer (SViT) to PSG signals for detection of RBD and compare the results to the more conventional convolutional neural network architecture. The vision-based deep learning models were applied to scalograms (30 or 300 s windows) of the PSG data (EEG, EMG and EOG) and the predictions interpreted. A total of 153 RBD (96 iRBD and 57 RBD with PD) and 190 controls were included in the study and 5-fold bagged ensemble was used. Model outputs were analyzed per-patient (averaged), with regards to sleep stage, and the SViT was interpreted using integrated gradients. Models had a similar per-epoch test F1 score. However, the vision transformer had the best per-patient performance, with an F1 score 0.87. Training the SViT on channel subsets, it achieved an F1 score of 0.93 on a combination of EEG and EOG. EMG is thought to have the highest diagnostic yield, but interpretation of our model showed that high relevance was placed on EEG and EOG, indicating these channels could be included for diagnosing RBD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals record electrical activity on the scalp. Measured signals, especially EEG motor imagery signals, are often inconsistent or distorted, which compromises their classification accuracy. Achieving a reliable classification of motor imagery EEG signals opens the door to possibilities such as the assessment of consciousness, brain computer interfaces or diagnostic tools. We seek a method that works with a reduced number of variables, in order to avoid overfitting and to improve interpretability. This work aims to enhance EEG signal classification accuracy by using methods based on time series analysis. Previous work on this line, usually took a univariate approach, thus losing the possibility to take advantage of the correlation information existing within the time series provided by the different electrodes. To overcome this problem, we propose a multivariate approach that can fully capture the relationships among the different time series included in the EEG data. To perform the multivariate time series analysis, we use a multi-resolution analysis approach based on the discrete wavelet transform, together with a stepwise discriminant that selects the most discriminant variables provided by the discrete wavelet transform analysis RESULTS: Applying this methodology to EEG data to differentiate between the motor imagery tasks of moving either hands or feet has yielded very good classification results, achieving in some cases up to 100% of accuracy for this 2-class pre-processed dataset. Besides, the fact that these results were achieved using a reduced number of variables (55 out of 22,176) can shed light on the relevance and impact of those variables. CONCLUSIONS This work has a potentially large impact, as it enables classification of EEG data based on multivariate time series analysis in an interpretable way with high accuracy. The method allows a model with a reduced number of features, facilitating its interpretability and improving overfitting. Future work will extend the application of this classification method to help in diagnosis procedures for detecting brain pathologies and for its use in brain computer interfaces. In addition, the results presented here suggest that this method could be applied to other fields for the successful analysis of multivariate temporal data.

Abstract
Context.Epilepsy is the most widespread disorder of the nervous system, affecting humans of all ages and races. The most common diagnostic test in epilepsy is the electroencephalography (EEG).Objective.In this paper, a novel automated deep learning approach based on integrating a pre-trained convolutional neural network (CNN) structure, called AlexNet, with the constant-Qnon-stationary Gabor transform (CQ-NSGT) algorithm is proposed for classifying seizure versus seizure-free EEG records.Approach.The CQ-NSGT method is introduced to transform the input 1D EEG signal into 2D spectrogram which is sent to the AlexNet CNN model. The AlexNet architecture is utilized to capture the discriminating features of the 2D image corresponding to each EEG signal in order to distinguish seizure and non-seizure subjects using multi-layer perceptron algorithm.Main results. The robustness of the introduced CQ-NSGT technique in transforming the 1D EEG signals into 2D spectrograms is assessed by comparing its classification results with the continuous wavelet transform method, and the results elucidate the high performance of the CQ-NSGT technique. The suggested epileptic seizure classification framework is investigated with clinical EEG data acquired from the Bonn University database, and the experimental results reveal the superior performance of the proposed framework over other state-of-the-art approaches with an accuracy of 99.56%, sensitivity of 99.12%, specificity of 99.67%, and precision of 98.69%.Significance.This elucidates the importance of the proposed automated system in helping neurologists to accurately interpret and classify epileptic EEG records without necessitating tedious visual inspection or massive data analysis for long-term EEG signals.

Abstract
Electroencephalography (EEG) is a complicated, non-stationary signal that requires extensive preprocessing and feature extraction approaches to be accurately analyzed. In recent times, Deep learning (DL) has shown great promise in exploiting the characteristics of EEG signals as it can learn relevant features from raw data autonomously. Although studies involving DL have become more common in the last two years, the topic of whether DL truly delivers advantages over conventional Machine learning (ML) methodologies remains unsettled. This study aims to present a detailed overview of the main challenges in the field of seizure detection, prediction, and classification utilizing EEG data, and the approaches taken to solve them using ML and DL methods. A systematic review was conducted surveying peer-reviewed publications published between 2017 and 16 July 2022 using two scientific databases (Web of Science and Scopus) totaling 6822 references after discarding duplicate publications. Whereas 2262 articles were screened based on the title, abstract, and keywords, only 214 were eligible for full-text assessment. A total of 91 papers have been included in this survey after meeting the eligible inclusion and exclusion criteria. The most significant findings from the review are summarized, and several important concepts involving ML and DL for seizure detection, prediction, and classification are discussed in further depth. This review aims to learn more about the different approaches for identifying different types and stages of epileptic seizures, which may then be employed to enhance the lives of epileptic patients in the future, as well as aid experts in the field.

On the Effects of Disc Deformation on the Tilting-Induced Vibration of a Spline-Guided Spinning Disc with an Axial-Fixed Boundary. APPLIED SCIENCES-BASEL 2022.

Abstract
This paper investigates the effects of disc deformation on the tilting-induced vibration of a splined spinning disc with axial-fixed boundaries.The purpose is to provide an intuitive interpretation of the vibration variance of the wet clutch system with different deformed discs. First, tilting models of flat and deformed discs are derived by introducing distinctive shape functions. Additionally, the inner spline interface is chosen as the friction boundary. Then, an impact model between friction pairs and the rigid boundary is established by adopting Hertz’s contact theory. Finally, the dynamic equations are solved via numerical methods, and the responses are analyzed in both time and frequency domains. The deformation can increase the nonlinearity of the dynamic response of the spinning disc. Moreover, the effects of increasing the impulse force and reducing the boundary distance are quite similar; they both increase the motion intensity.

Abstract
Visual inspection of long-term electroencephalography (EEG) is a tedious task for physicians in neurology. Based on bidirectional gated recurrent unit (Bi-GRU) neural network, an automatic seizure detection method is proposed in this paper to facilitate the diagnosis and treatment of epilepsy. Firstly, wavelet transforms are applied to EEG recordings for filtering pre-processing. Then the relative energies of signals in several particular frequency bands are calculated and inputted into Bi-GRU network. Afterwards, the outputs of Bi-GRU network are further processed by moving average filtering, threshold comparison and seizure merging to generate the discriminant results that the tested EEG belong to seizure or not. Evaluated on CHB-MIT scalp EEG database, the proposed seizure detection method obtained an average sensitivity of 93.89% and an average specificity of 98.49%. 124 out of 128 seizures were correctly detected and the achieved average false detection rate was 0.31 per hour on 867.14 h testing data. The results show the superiority of Bi-GRU network in seizure detection and the proposed detection method has a promising potential in the monitoring of long-term EEG.
