In recent years, electroencephalography (EEG) has been investigated for identifying brain disorders. This technique involves placing multiple electrodes (channels) on the scalp to measure the brain's activities. This study focuses on accurately detecting mild cognitive impairment (MCI) from the recorded EEG signals.

Introduction: Despite the existence of numerous clinical techniques for identifying neurological brain disorders in their early stages, Electroencephalogram (EEG) data shows great promise as a means of detecting Alzheimer's disease (AD) at an early stage. The main goal of this research is to create a reliable and accurate clinical decision support system leveraging EEG signal processing to detect AD in its initial phases.

Methods: The research utilized a dataset consisting of 35 neurotypical individuals, 31 patients with mild AD, and 22 patients with moderate AD.

Early detection of Parkinson's disease (PD) is very important in clinical diagnosis for preventing disease development. In this study, we present efficient discrete wavelet transform (DWT)-based methods for detecting PD from health control (HC) in two cases, namely, off-and on-medication. First, the EEG signals are preprocessed to remove major artifacts before being decomposed into several EEG sub-bands (approximate and details) using DWT.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a very common brain abnormality that affects people all over the world. Early detection of such abnormality is critical in clinical diagnosis in order to prevent disease progression. Electroencephalography (EEG) is one of the most important PD diagnostic tools since this disease is linked to the brain.

Background: The handling of unknown weights, which is common in daily routines either at work or during leisure time, is suspected to be highly associated with the incidence of low back pain (LBP).

Objectives: To investigate the effects of knowledge and magnitude of a load (to be lifted) on brain responses, autonomic nervous activity, and trapezius and erector spinae muscle activity.

Methods: A randomized, within-subjects experiment involving manual lifting was conducted, wherein 10 participants lifted three different weights (1.

Analysis of electroencephalogram (EEG) signals is essential because it is an efficient method to diagnose neurological brain disorders. In this work, a single system is developed to diagnose one or two neurological diseases at the same time (two-class mode and three-class mode). For this purpose, different EEG feature-extraction and classification techniques are investigated to aid in the accurate diagnosis of neurological brain disorders: epilepsy and autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a type of neurodevelopmental disorder with core impairments in the social relationships, communication, imagination, or flexibility of thought and restricted repertoire of activity and interest. In this work, a new computer aided diagnosis (CAD) of autism ‎based on electroencephalography (EEG) signal analysis is investigated. The proposed method is based on discrete wavelet transform (DWT), entropy (En), and artificial neural network (ANN).
