Abstract
Previous resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) studies have widely explored the temporal connection changes in the human brain following long-term sleep deprivation (SD). However, the frequency-specific topological properties of sleep-deprived functional networks remain virtually unclear. In this study, thirty-seven healthy male subjects underwent resting-state fMRI during rested wakefulness (RW) and after 36 hours of SD, and we examined frequency-specific spectral connection changes (0.01-0.08 Hz, interval = 0.01 Hz) caused by SD. First, we conducted a multivariate pattern analysis combining linear SVM classifiers with a robust feature selection algorithm, and the results revealed that accuracies of 74.29%-84.29% could be achieved in the classification between RW and SD states in leave-one-out cross-validation at different frequency bands, moreover, the spectral connection at the lowest and highest frequency bands exhibited higher discriminative power. Connection involving the cingulo-opercular network increased most, while connection involving the default-mode network decreased most following SD. Then we performed a graph-theoretic analysis and observed reduced low-frequency modularity and high-frequency global efficiency in the SD state. Moreover, hub regions, which were primarily situated in the cerebellum and the cingulo-opercular network after SD, exhibited high discriminative power in the aforementioned classification consistently. The findings may indicate the frequency-dependent effects of SD on the functional network topology and its efficiency of information exchange, providing new insights into the impact of SD on the human brain.

Classification for Memory Activities: Experiments and EEG Analysis Based on Networks Constructed via Phase-Locking Value. COMPUTATIONAL AND MATHEMATICAL METHODS IN MEDICINE 2022; 2022:3878771. [PMID: 35799656 PMCID: PMC9256324 DOI: 10.1155/2022/3878771] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/04/2022] [Revised: 05/12/2022] [Accepted: 06/11/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
Electroencephalogram (EEG) plays a crucial role in the study of working memory, which involves the complex coordination of brain regions. In this research, we designed and conducted series of experiments of memory with various memory loads or target forms and collected behavioral data as well as 32-lead EEG simultaneously. Combined with behavioral data analysis, we segmented EEG into slices; then, we calculated phase-locking value (PLV) of Gamma rhythms between every two leads, conducted binarization, constructed brain function network, and extracted three network characteristics of node degree, local clustering coefficient, and betweenness centrality. Finally, we inputted these network characteristics of all leads into support vector machines (SVM) for classification and obtained decent performances; i.e., all classification accuracies are greater than 0.78 on an independent test set. Particularly, PLV application was restricted to the narrow-band signals, and rare successful application to EEG Gamma rhythm, defined as wide as 30-100 Hz, had been reported. In order to address this limitation, we adopted simulation on band-pass filtered noise with the same frequency band as Gamma to help determine the PLV binarizing threshold. It turns out that network characteristics based on binarized PLV have the ability to distinguish the presence or absence of memory, as well as the intensity of the mental workload at the moment of memory. This work sheds a light upon phase-locking investigation between relatively wide-band signals, as well as memory research via EEG.

Abstract
As it was mentioned in the previous part of this work (Part I)-the advanced signal processing methods are one of the quickest and the most dynamically developing scientific areas of biomedical engineering with their increasing usage in current clinical practice. In this paper, which is a Part II work-various innovative methods for the analysis of brain bioelectrical signals were presented and compared. It also describes both classical and advanced approaches for noise contamination removal such as among the others digital adaptive and non-adaptive filtering, signal decomposition methods based on blind source separation, and wavelet transform.
