Source Localization of EEG Brainwaves Activities via Mother Wavelets Families for SWT Decomposition

Abstract

A Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) is a system used to communicate with an external world through the brain activity. The brain activity is measured by electroencephalography (EEG) signal and then processed by a BCI system. EEG source reconstruction could be a way to improve the accuracy of EEG classification in EEG based brain-computer interface (BCI). The source localization of the human brain activities can be an important resource for the recognition of the cognitive state, medical disorders, and a better understanding of the brain in general. In this study, we have compared 51 mother wavelets taken from 7 different wavelet families, which are applied to a Stationary Wavelet Transform (SWT) decomposition of an EEG signal. This process includes Haar, Symlets, Daubechies, Coiflets, Discrete Meyer, Biorthogonal, and reverse Biorthogonal wavelet families in extracting five different brainwave subbands for source localization. For this process, we used the Independent Component Analysis (ICA) for feature extraction followed by the Boundary Element Model (BEM) and the Equivalent Current Dipole (ECD) for the forward and inverse problem solutions. The evaluation results in investigating the optimal mother wavelet for source localization eventually identified the sym20 mother wavelet as the best choice followed by bior6.8 and coif5.

Automatic detection of abnormal EEG signals using multiscale features with ensemble learning

“…Initially, using DWT with Symlets wavelet, the brain signal is split into one approximation and several details. We selected the known Symlets wavelet of order 6 (sym6) in this work; as previously reported by authors ( Chen et al, 2017 ; Frikha et al, 2021 ), the wavelet filter sym6 is very adequate for biomedical signal analysis because of its orthogonality nature, in particular for abnormality detection in EEGs. As for the decomposition level, it can be determined mainly based on the following consideration.…”

IoMT-Based Platform for E-Health Monitoring Based on the Blockchain

“…There are many different EEG wireless headsets that differ in price, electrodes numbers, availability of extra sensors (like gyroscope, magnetometer), the availability of a feature-rich software, and the required libraries and packages to build customized applications. We chose the Emotiv insight EEG headset [54,55] (white color model). With less than 500 US dollars in 2021, this headset offers a 5-channel, a gyroscope, and a rich software support [54].…”

Blockchain-Based Supply Chain System for Olive Fields Using WSNs

“…e use of blockchain is not only related to cryptocurrency (Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc.) but also other sectors that are starting to work on concrete use cases include industry via Industry 4.0 & 5.0 [6], e-health [7][8][9] such as medical records tracking and EHR [7,10], paramedical and sports applications [2], and smart cities [11,12].…”
