Epileptic Seizure Detection in Long-Term EEG Recordings by Using Wavelet-Based Directed Transfer Function.

Goal: The accurate automatic detection of epileptic seizures is very important in long-term electroencephalogram (EEG) recordings. In this study, the wavelet decomposition and the directed transfer function (DTF) algorithm were combined to present a novel wavelet-based directed transfer function (WDTF) method for the patient-specific seizure detection.

Methods: First, five subbands were extracted from 19-channel EEG signals by using wavelet decomposition in a sliding window.

Effect of brain-to-skull conductivity ratio on EEG source localization accuracy.

The goal of this study was to investigate the influence of the brain-to-skull conductivity ratio (BSCR) on EEG source localization accuracy. In this study, we evaluated four BSCRs: 15, 20, 25, and 80, which were mainly discussed according to the literature. The scalp EEG signals were generated by BSCR-related forward computation for each cortical dipole source.

Classification of surface electromyographic signals by means of multifractal singularity spectrum.

In order to effectively control a prosthetic system, considerable attempts have been made in recent years to improve the classification accuracy of surface electromyographic (SEMG) signals. However, the extraction of effective features is still a primary challenge for the classification of SEMG signals. This study tried to solve the problem by applying the multifractal analysis.
