Abstract
Given its detrimental effect on the brain, alcoholism is a severe disorder that can produce a variety of cognitive, emotional, and behavioral issues. Alcoholism is typically diagnosed using the CAGE assessment approach, which has drawbacks such as being lengthy, prone to mistakes, and biased. To overcome these issues, this paper introduces a novel paradigm for identifying alcoholism by employing electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. The proposed framework is divided into various steps. To begin, interference and artifacts in the EEG data are removed using a multiscale principal component analysis procedure. This cleaning procedure contributes to information quality improvement. Second, an innovative graphical technique based on fast fractional Fourier transform coefficients is devised to visualize the chaotic character and complexities of the EEG signals. This elucidates the properties of regular and alcoholic EEG signals. Third, thirty-four graphical features are extracted to interpret the EEG signals' haphazard behavior and differentiate between regular and alcoholic trends. Fourth, we propose an ensembled feature selection method for obtaining an effective and reliable feature group. Following that, we study many neural network classifiers to choose the optimal classifier for building an efficient framework. The experimental findings show that the suggested method obtains the best classification performance by employing a recurrent neural network (RNN), with 97.5% accuracy, 96.7% sensitivity, and 98.3% specificity for the sixteen selected features. The proposed framework can aid physicians, businesses, and product designers to develop a real-time system.

Abstract
Background Alcoholism is a catastrophic condition that causes brain damage as well as neurological, social, and behavioral difficulties. Limitations This illness is often assessed using the Cut down, Annoyed, Guilty, and Eye-opener examination technique, which assesses the intensity of an alcohol problem. This technique is protracted, arduous, error-prone, and errant. Method As a result, the intention of this paper is to design a cutting-edge system for automatically identifying alcoholism utilizing electroencephalography (EEG) signals, that can alleviate these problems and aid practitioners and investigators. First, we investigate the feasibility of using the Fast Walsh-Hadamard transform of EEG signals to explore the unpredictable essence and variability of EEG indicators in the suggested framework. Second, thirty-six linear and nonlinear features for deciphering the dynamic pattern of healthy and alcoholic EEG signals are discovered. Subsequently, we suggested a strategy for selecting powerful features. Finally, nineteen machine learning algorithms and five neural network classifiers are used to assess the overall performance of selected attributes. Results The extensive experiments show that the suggested method provides the best classification efficiency, with 97.5% accuracy, 96.7% sensitivity, and 98.3% specificity for the features chosen using the correlation-based FS approach with Recurrent Neural Networks. With recently introduced matrix determinant features, a classification accuracy of 93.3% is also attained. Moreover, we developed a novel index that uses clinically meaningful features to differentiate between healthy and alcoholic categories with a unique integer. This index can assist health care workers, commercial companies, and design engineers in developing a real-time system with 100% classification results for the computerized framework.

Abstract
Electroencephalography (EEG) is a technique that can be used in non-invasive brain-machine interface (BMI) systems to register brain electrical activity. The EEG signals are non-linear and non-stationary, making the decoding procedure a complex task. Deep learning techniques have been successfully applied in several research fields, often improving the results compared with traditional approaches. Therefore, it is believed that these techniques can also improve the process of decoding brain signals in BMI systems. In this work, we present the implementation of two deep learning-based decoders and we compared the results with other state of art deep learning methods. The first decoder uses long short-term memory (LSTM) recurrent neural network and the second, entitled EEGNet-LSTM, combines a well-known neural decoder based on convolutional neural networks, called EEGNet, with some LSTM layers. The decoders have been tested using data set 2a from BCI Competition IV, and the results showed that the EEGNet-LSTM decoder has been approximately 23% better than the competition-winning decoder. A Wilcoxon t-test showed a significant difference between the two decoders (Z = 2.524, p = 0.012). The LSTM-based decoder has been approximately 9% higher than the best decoder from the same competition. However, there was no significant difference (Z = 1.540, p = 0.123). In order to verify the replication of the EEGNet-LSTM decoder on another data, we performed a test with PhysioNet's Physiobank EEG Motor Movement/Imagery dataset. The EEGNet-LSTM presented a higher performance (0.85 accuracy) than the EEGNet (0.82 accuracy). The results of this work can be important for the development of new research, as well as EEG-based BMI systems, which can benefit from the high precision of neural decoders.

EEG Classification of Normal and Alcoholic by Deep Learning. Brain Sci 2022; 12:brainsci12060778.

Abstract
Alcohol dependence is a common mental disease worldwide. Excessive alcohol consumption may lead to alcoholism and many complications. In severe cases, it will lead to inhibition and paralysis of the centers of the respiratory and circulatory systems and even death. In addition, there is a lack of effective standard test procedures to detect alcoholism. EEG signals are data obtained by measuring brain changes in the cerebral cortex and can be used for the diagnosis of alcoholism. Existing diagnostic methods mainly employ machine learning techniques, which rely on human intervention to learn. In contrast, deep learning, as an end-to-end learning method, can automatically extract EEG signal features, which is more convenient. Nonetheless, there are few studies on the classification of alcohol’s EEG signals using deep learning models. Therefore, in this paper, a new deep learning method is proposed to automatically extract and classify EEG’s features. The method first adopts a multilayer discrete wavelet transform to denoise the input data. Then, the denoised data are used as input, and a convolutional neural network and bidirectional long short-term memory network are used for feature extraction. Finally, alcohol EEG signal classification is performed. The experimental results show that the method proposed in this study can be utilized to effectively diagnose patients with alcoholism, achieving a diagnostic accuracy of 99.32%, which is better than most current algorithms.

Abstract
Identification of alcoholism is clinically important because of the way it affects the operation of the brain. Alcoholics are more vulnerable to health issues, such as immune disorders, high blood pressure, brain anomalies, and heart problems. These health issues are also a significant cost to national health systems. To help health professionals to diagnose the disease with a high rate of accuracy, there is an urgent need to create accurate and automated diagnosis systems capable of classifying human bio-signals. In this study, an automatic system, denoted as (CT-BS- Cov-Eig based FOA-F-SVM), has been proposed to detect the prevalence and health effects of alcoholism from multichannel electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. The EEG signals are segmented into small intervals, with each segment passed to a clustering technique-based bootstrap (CT-BS) for the selection of modeling samples. A covariance matrix method with its eigenvalues (Cov-Eig) is integrated with the CT-BS system and applied for useful feature extraction related to alcoholism. To select the most relevant features, a nonparametric approach is adopted, and to classify the extracted features, a radius-margin-based support vector machine (F-SVM) with a fruit fly optimization algorithm (FOA), (i.e., FOA-F-SVM) is utilized. To assess the performance of the proposed CT-BS model, different types of evaluation methods are employed, and the proposed model is compared with the state-of-the-art models to benchmark the overall effectiveness of the newly designed system for EEG signals. The results in this study show that the proposed CT-BS model is more effective than the other commonly used methods and yields a high accuracy rate of 99%. In comparison with the state-of-the-art algorithms tested on identical databases describing the capability of the newly proposed FOA-F-SVM method, the study ascertains the proposed model as a promising medical diagnostic tool with potential implementation in automated alcoholism detection systems used by clinicians and other health practitioners. The proposed model, adopted as an expert system where EEG data could be classified through advanced pattern recognition techniques, can assist neurologists and other health professionals in the accurate and reliable diagnosis and treatment decisions related to alcoholism.

Detection of alcoholism using EEG signals and a CNN-LSTM-ATTN network. Comput Biol Med 2021; 138:104940.

Abstract
Alcoholism is a serious disorder that poses a problem for modern society, but the detection of alcoholism has no widely accepted standard tests or procedures. If alcoholism goes undetected at its early stages, it can create havoc in the patient's life. An electroencephalography (EEG) is a method used to measure the brain's electrical activity and can detect alcoholism. EEG signals are complex and multi-channel and thus can be difficult to interpret manually. Several previous works have tried to classify a subject as alcoholic or control (non-alcoholic) based on EEG signals. Such works have mainly used machine learning or statistical techniques along with handcrafted features such as entropy, correlation dimension, Hurst exponent. With the growth in computational power and data volume worldwide, deep learning models have recently been gaining momentum in various fields. However, only a few studies are available on the application of deep learning models for the classification of alcoholism using EEG signals. This paper proposes a deep learning architecture that uses a combination of fast Fourier transform (FFT), a convolution neural network (CNN), long short-term memory (LSTM), and a recently proposed attention mechanism for extracting Spatio-temporal features from multi-channel EEG signals. The proposed architecture can classify a subject as an alcoholic or control with a high degree of accuracy by analyzing EEG signals of that subject and can be used for automating alcoholism detection. The analytical results using the proposed architecture show a 98.83% accuracy, making it better than most state-of-the-art algorithms.

Abstract
Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) is a chronic relapsing brain disease characterized by excessive alcohol use, loss of control over alcohol intake, and negative emotional states under no alcohol consumption. The key factor in successful treatment of AUD is the accurate diagnosis for better medical and therapy management. Conventionally, for individuals to be diagnosed with AUD, certain criteria as outlined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) should be met. However, this process is subjective in nature and could be misleading due to memory problems and dishonesty of some AUD patients. In this paper, an assessment scheme for objective diagnosis of AUD is proposed. For this purpose, EEG recording of 31 healthy controls and 31 AUD patients are used for the calculation of effective connectivity (EC) between the various regions of the brain Default Mode Network (DMN). The EC is estimated using partial directed coherence (PDC) which are then used as input to a 3D Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) for binary classification of AUD cases. Using 5-fold cross validation, the classification of AUD vs. HC effective connectivity matrices using the proposed 3D-CNN gives an accuracy of 87.85 ± 4.64 %. For further validation, 32 and 30 subjects are randomly selected for training and testing, respectively, giving 100% correct classification of all the testing subjects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The identification of alcoholism is of prime importance because of its adverse effects on the central nervous system. Moreover, people suffering from alcoholism are susceptible to various health problems such as cardiomyopathy, immune system disorder, high blood pressure, cirrhosis, brain anomalies, and heart problems. NEW METHOD This study presents a novel approach, based on Fourier theory, known as Fourier decomposition method (FDM) for automatic identification of alcoholism using electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. The FDM approach is employed to decompose EEG signals into a set of desired orthogonal components, commonly referred as Fourier intrinsic band functions (FIBFs), obtained by dividing the complete bandwidth of EEG signal under analysis into equal frequency bands. Time-domain features such as Hjorth parameters, kurtosis, inter-quartile range, and median frequency are extracted from FIBFs. To reduce the complexity, Kruskal-Wallis (KW) statistical test, is performed to adopt the most significant features. RESULTS Simulation results are obtained using different classification methods, namely, k-nearest neighbor (kNN), support vector machine (SVM), and linear discriminant analysis (LDA). The proposed approach with the SVM classifier using radial basis function provides average accuracy of 99.98%, sensitivity of 99.99% and specificity of 99.97%. Performance is also tested in the presence of noise. COMPARISON WITH EXISTING METHOD(S) Classification results highlight the superior performance of our method in comparison to existing works. CONCLUSIONS The proposed scheme provides an efficient approach and can be employed in real-time alcoholism detection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE We have cast the net into the ocean of knowledge to retrieve the latest scientific research on deep learning methods for physiological signals. We found 53 research papers on this topic, published from 01.01.2008 to 31.12.2017. METHODS An initial bibliometric analysis shows that the reviewed papers focused on Electromyogram(EMG), Electroencephalogram(EEG), Electrocardiogram(ECG), and Electrooculogram(EOG). These four categories were used to structure the subsequent content review. RESULTS During the content review, we understood that deep learning performs better for big and varied datasets than classic analysis and machine classification methods. Deep learning algorithms try to develop the model by using all the available input. CONCLUSIONS This review paper depicts the application of various deep learning algorithms used till recently, but in future it will be used for more healthcare areas to improve the quality of diagnosis.

Abstract
Cardiac diseases are major reason of death in the world populace and the numeral of cases is upsurging every year. Due to cardiac artery disease (CAD), the strength of heart muscles becomes weak and heart pumping is disturbed which may eventually lead to abnormal heart beat and heart failure. Therefore, the beginning stage detection of CAD and cardiac heart failure (CHF) are of prime importance. In this work, we have used a non-invasive diagnosis method as higher order spectra (HOS) for assessment of cardiac diseases. The method indicates whether or not a cardiac heart disease is present, by assessing the cardiac health of subjects using extracted features from heart rate variability (HRV) signals. This assessment is based on 10 spectra nonlinear features. These features were extracted from HRV signals by using the HOS method. For this study, the R-R interval data (i.e. HRV signals) were taken from the standard database of cardiac heart failure (CHF), CAD patients, healthy young (YNG) and Self recorded of healthy young (SELF_YNG) subjects. Statistical assessments were performed on the group of database sets as YNG-CAD, YNG-CHF, SELF_YNG-CAD and Self_YNG-CHF subjects. A Wilcoxon rank sum test ([Formula: see text]-value) was used to statistically compare the features extracted by HOS for group of data sets. It indicates whether or not the same features of individual classes of HRV data sets are dissimilar. The results depicted that the all features are very significant ([Formula: see text]) except the phase entropy (PHE) feature which is not significant for CAD-CHF, SELF_YNG-CAD and SELF_YNG-CHF group of subjects. While in the case of YNG-CAD group of subjects, features like first-order spectral moment of amplitudes of diagonal elements (H3), PHE and logarithmic amplitudes of diagonal elements (H2) are significant ([Formula: see text]) and excluding these features, the remaining features are very significant except MM and H1 which are not significant. The results also depicted that the mean value of sum of logarithmic amplitude (H1), H2, normalized entropy (P1), normalized squared entropy (P2) and PHE features of healthy YNG subjects are having higher values than that of CAD and CHF patients. While weighted center of bi-spectrum (WCOB2) and FLAT spectrum features are lower than CAD and CHF patients compared to YNG subjects. In case of CAD and CHF patients, all the features of CAD patients are having higher values compared to CHF except P1, P2 and WCOB1.

Abstract
The screening test for alcohol use disorder (AUD) patients has been of subjective nature and could be misleading in particular cases such as a misreporting the actual quantity of alcohol intake. Although the neuroimaging modality such as electroencephalography (EEG) has shown promising research results in achieving objectivity during the screening and diagnosis of AUD patients. However, the translation of these findings for clinical applications has been largely understudied and hence less clear. This study advocates the use of EEG as a diagnostic and screening tool for AUD patients that may help the clinicians during clinical decision making. In this context, a comprehensive review on EEG-based methods is provided including related electrophysiological techniques reported in the literature. More specifically, the EEG abnormalities associated with the conditions of AUD patients are summarized. The aim is to explore the potentials of objective techniques involving quantities/features derived from resting EEG, event-related potentials or event-related oscillations data.

Abstract
Alcoholism is a complex condition that mainly disturbs the neuronal networks in Central Nervous System (CNS). This disorder not only disturbs the brain, but also affects the behavior, emotions, and cognitive judgements. Electroencephalography (EEG) is a valuable tool to examine the neuropsychiatric disorders like alcoholism. The EEG is a well-established modality to diagnose the electrical activity produced by the populations of neurons in cerebral cortex. However, EEG signals are non-linear in nature; hence very challenging to interpret the valuable information from them using linear methods. Thus, using non-linear methods to analyze EEG signals can be beneficial in order to predict the brain signals condition. This paper presents a computer-aided diagnostic method for the detection of alcoholic EEG signals from normal by employing the non-linear techniques. First, the EEG signals are subjected to six levels of Wavelet Packet Decomposition (WPD) to obtain seven wavebands (delta ([Formula: see text]), theta ([Formula: see text]), lower alpha (la), upper alpha (ua), lower beta (lb), upper beta (ub), lower gamma (lg)). From each wavebands (activity bands), 19 non-linear features such as Recurrence Quantification Analysis (RQA) ([Formula: see text]), Approximate Entropy ([Formula: see text]), Energy ([Formula: see text]), Fractal Dimension (FD) ([Formula: see text]), Permutation Entropy ([Formula: see text]), Detrended Fluctuation Analysis ([Formula: see text]), Hurst Exponent ([Formula: see text]), Largest Lyapunov Exponent ([Formula: see text]), Sample Entropy ([Formula: see text]), Shannon’s Entropy ([Formula: see text]), Renyi’s entropy ([Formula: see text]), Tsalli’s entropy ([Formula: see text]), Fuzzy entropy ([Formula: see text]), Wavelet entropy ([Formula: see text]), Kolmogorov–Sinai entropy ([Formula: see text]), Modified Multiscale Entropy ([Formula: see text]), Hjorth’s parameters (activity ([Formula: see text]), mobility ([Formula: see text]), and complexity ([Formula: see text])) are extracted. The extracted features are then ranked using Bhattacharyya, Entropy, Fuzzy entropy-based Max-Relevancy and Min-Redundancy (mRMR), Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC), [Formula: see text]-test, and Wilcoxon. These ranked features are given to train Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier. The SVM classifier with radial basis function (RBF) achieved 95.41% accuracy, 93.33% sensitivity and 97.50% specificity using four non-linear features ranked by Wilcoxon method. In addition, an integrated index called Alcoholic Index (ALCOHOLI) is developed using highly ranked two features for identification of normal and alcoholic EEG signals using a single number. This system is rapid, efficient, and inexpensive and can be employed as an EEG analysis assisting system by clinicians in the detection of alcoholism. In addition, the proposed system can be used in rehabilitation centers to evaluate person with alcoholism over time and observe the outcome of treatment provided for reducing or reversing the impact of the condition on the brain.

Abstract
Screening alcohol use disorder (AUD) patients has been challenging due to the subjectivity involved in the process. Hence, robust and objective methods are needed to automate the screening of AUD patients. In this paper, a machine learning method is proposed that utilized resting-state electroencephalography (EEG)-derived features as input data to classify the AUD patients and healthy controls and to perform automatic screening of AUD patients. In this context, the EEG data were recorded during 5 min of eyes closed and 5 min of eyes open conditions. For this purpose, 30 AUD patients and 15 aged-matched healthy controls were recruited. After preprocessing the EEG data, EEG features such as inter-hemispheric coherences and spectral power for EEG delta, theta, alpha, beta and gamma bands were computed involving 19 scalp locations. The selection of most discriminant features was performed with a rank-based feature selection method assigning a weight value to each feature according to a criterion, i.e., receiver operating characteristics curve. For example, a feature with large weight was considered more relevant to the target labels than a feature with less weight. Therefore, a reduced set of most discriminant features was identified and further be utilized during classification of AUD patients and healthy controls. As results, the inter-hemispheric coherences between the brain regions were found significantly different between the study groups and provided high classification efficiency (Accuracy = 80.8, sensitivity = 82.5, and specificity = 80, F-Measure = 0.78). In addition, the power computed in different EEG bands were found significant and provided an overall classification efficiency as (Accuracy = 86.6, sensitivity = 95, specificity = 82.5, and F-Measure = 0.88). Further, the integration of these EEG feature resulted into even higher results (Accuracy = 89.3 %, sensitivity = 88.5 %, specificity = 91 %, and F-Measure = 0.90). Based on the results, it is concluded that the EEG data (integration of the theta, beta, and gamma power and inter-hemispheric coherence) could be utilized as objective markers to screen the AUD patients and healthy controls.

Abstract
This paper presents an S-transform-based Electroencephalogram channel optimization and feature extraction methodology for monitoring mental vigilance level of humans. Vigilance level detection methodology consists of four steps. In the first stage, two types of Electroencephalogram signals (alert and drowsy) are acquired from 30 healthy subjects and decomposed into sub-bands using the S-transform. In the second stage, permutation entropy of the S-transform coefficients is calculated and Electroencephalogram channel optimization is performed. S-transform-based statistical features are computed from the optimized Electroencephalogram channels, in the third stage. In the fourth stage, artificial intelligence techniques such as Least Square-Support Vector Machine, Artificial Neural Network and Naive Bayes Classifier are used for the classification of Electroencephalogram signals using extracted features. The performance of the feature extraction methodology is tested on the Electroencephalogram data of 30 healthy subjects. Experimental results ensured the effectiveness of proposed methodology for the estimation of mental vigilance level by using Electroencephalogram signals. It is observed that the Artificial Neural Network classifier is a good candidate for pre-emptive automatic vigilance level detection system for Brain-Computer Interface applications.

Abstract
Alcoholism is a severe disorder that affects the functionality of neurons in the central nervous system (CNS) and alters the behavior of the affected person. Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals can be used as a diagnostic tool in the evaluation of subjects with alcoholism. The neurophysiological interpretation of EEG signals in persons with alcoholism (PWA) is based on observation and interpretation of the frequency and power in their EEGs compared to EEG signals from persons without alcoholism. This paper presents a review of the known features of EEGs obtained from PWA and proposes that the impact of alcoholism on the brain can be determined by computer-aided analysis of EEGs through extracting the minute variations in the EEG signals that can differentiate the EEGs of PWA from those of nonaffected persons. The authors advance the idea of automated computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) of alcoholism by employing the EEG signals. This is achieved through judicious combination of signal processing techniques such as wavelet, nonlinear dynamics, and chaos theory and pattern recognition and classification techniques. A CAD system is cost-effective and efficient and can be used as a decision support system by physicians in the diagnosis and treatment of alcoholism especially those who do not specialize in alcoholism or neurophysiology. It can also be of great value to rehabilitation centers to assess PWA over time and to monitor the impact of treatment aimed at minimizing or reversing the effects of the disease on the brain. A CAD system can be used to determine the extent of alcoholism-related changes in EEG signals (low, medium, high) and the effectiveness of therapeutic plans.
