[PMID: 38237434 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2023.133099] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/08/2023] [Revised: 11/22/2023] [Accepted: 11/24/2023] [Indexed: 02/08/2024]
Abstract
In recent years, environmental problems caused by air pollutants have received increasing attention. Effective prediction of air pollutant concentrations is an important way to protect the public from harm. Recently, due to extreme climate and social development, the forest fire frequency has increased. During the biomass combustion process caused by forest fires, the content of particulate matter (PM) in the atmosphere increases significantly. However, most existing air pollutant concentration prediction methods do not consider the considerable impact of forest fires, and effective long-term prediction models have not been established to provide early warnings for harmful gases. Therefore, in this paper, we collected a daily air quality data set (aerodynamic diameter smaller than 2.5 µm, PM2.5) for Heilongjiang Province, China, from 2017 to 2023 and A novel Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) model was proposed to effectively predict the situation of air pollutants. The model could automatically extract information of the effective time step from the historical data set and combine forest fire disturbance and climate data as auxiliary data to improve the model prediction ability. Moreover, we created artificial neural network (ANN) and permissive regression (support vector machine, SVR) models for comparative experiments. The results showed that the precision accuracy of the developed LSTM model is higher. Unlike the other models, the LSTM neural network model could effectively predict the concentration of air pollutants in long-term series. Regarding long-term observation missions (7 days), the proposed model performed well and stably, with R2 reaching over 88%.

A Novel Approach for Multichannel Epileptic Seizure Classification Based on Internet of Things Framework Using Critical Spectral Verge Feature Derived from Flower Pollination Algorithm. SENSORS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 22:9302. [PMID: 36502005 PMCID: PMC9737714 DOI: 10.3390/s22239302] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2022] [Revised: 11/07/2022] [Accepted: 11/11/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
A novel approach for multichannel epilepsy seizure classification which will help to automatically locate seizure activity present in the focal brain region was proposed. This paper suggested an Internet of Things (IoT) framework based on a smart phone by utilizing a novel feature termed multiresolution critical spectral verge (MCSV), based on frequency-derived information for epileptic seizure classification which was optimized using a flower pollination algorithm (FPA). A wireless sensor technology (WSN) was utilized to record the electroencephalography (EEG) signal of epileptic patients. Next, the EEG signal was pre-processed utilizing a multiresolution-based adaptive filtering (MRAF) method. Then, the maximal frequency point at which the power spectral density (PSD) of each EEG segment was greater than the average spectral power of the corresponding frequency band was computed. This point was further optimized to extract a point termed as critical spectral verge (CSV) to extract the exact high frequency oscillations representing the actual seizure activity present in the EEG signal. Next, a support vector machine (SVM) classifier was used for channel-wise classification of the seizure and non-seizure regions using CSV as a feature. This process of classification using the CSV feature extracted from the MRAF output is referred to as the MCSV approach. As a final step, cloud-based services were employed to analyze the EEG information from the subject's smart phone. An exhaustive analysis was undertaken to assess the performance of the MCSV approach for two datasets. The presented approach showed an improved performance with a 93.83% average sensitivity, a 97.94% average specificity, a 97.38% average accuracy with the SVM classifier, and a 95.89% average detection rate as compared with other state-of-the-art studies such as deep learning. The methods presented in the literature were unable to precisely localize the origination of the seizure activity in the brain region and reported a low seizure detection rate. This work introduced an optimized CSV feature which was effectively used for multichannel seizure classification and localization of seizure origination. The proposed MCSV approach will help diagnose epileptic behavior from multichannel EEG signals which will be extremely useful for neuro-experts to analyze seizure details from different regions of the brain.

Abstract
The electroencephalogram (EEG) is a fundamental tool in the diagnosis and classification of epilepsy. In particular, Interictal Epileptiform Discharges (IEDs) reflect an increased likelihood of seizures and are routinely assessed by visual analysis of the EEG. Visual assessment is, however, time consuming and prone to subjectivity, leading to a high misdiagnosis rate and motivating the development of automated approaches. Research towards automating IED detection started 45 years ago. Approaches range from mimetic methods to deep learning techniques. We review different approaches to IED detection, discussing their performance and limitations. Traditional machine learning and deep learning methods have yielded the best results so far and their application in the field is still growing. Standardization of datasets and outcome measures is necessary to compare models more objectively and decide which should be implemented in a clinical setting.

Abstract
Epileptic seizures are known for their unpredictable nature. However, recent research provides that the transition to seizure event is not random but the result of evidence accumulations. Therefore, a reliable method capable to detect these indications can predict seizures and improve the life quality of epileptic patients. Seizures periods are generally characterized by epileptiform discharges with different changes including spike rate variation according to the shapes, spikes, and the amplitude. In this study, spike rate is used as the indicator to anticipate seizures in electroencephalogram (EEG) signal. Spikes detection step is used in EEG signal during interictal, preictal, and ictal periods followed by a mean filter to smooth the spike number. The maximum spike rate in interictal periods is used as an indicator to predict seizures. When the spike number in the preictal period exceeds the threshold, an alarm is triggered. Using the CHB-MIT database, the proposed approach has ensured 92% accuracy in seizure prediction for all patients.

Abstract
Over several years, research had been conducted for the detection of epileptic seizures to support an automatic diagnosis system to comfort the clinicians' encumbrance. In this regard, a number of research papers have been published for the identification of epileptic seizures. A thorough review of all these papers is required. So, an attempt has been made to review on the pattern detection methods for epilepsy seizure detection from EEG signals. More than 150 research papers have been discussed to determine the techniques for detecting epileptic seizures. Further, the literature review confirms that the pattern recognition techniques required to detect epileptic seizures varies across the electroencephalogram (EEG) datasets of different conditions. This is mostly owing to the fact that EEG detected under different conditions have different characteristics. This consecutively necessitates the identification of the pattern recognition technique to efficiently differentiate EEG epileptic data from the EEG data of various conditions.

Abstract
Over many decades, research is being attempted for the detection of epileptic seizure to support for automatic diagnosis system to help clinicians from burdensome work. In this respect, an enormous number of research papers is published for identification of epileptic seizure. It is difficult to present a detailed review of all these literature. Therefore, in this paper, an attempt has been made to review the detection of an epileptic seizure. More than 100 research papers have been discussed to discern the techniques for detecting the epileptic seizure. Further, the literature survey shows that the pattern recognition required to detect epileptic seizure varies with different conditions of EEG datasets. This is mainly due to the fact that EEG detected under different conditions has different characteristics. This is, in turn, necessitates the identification of pattern recognition technique to effectively distinguish EEG epileptic data from a various condition of EEG data.

Abstract
Abstract
Correct interpretation of neural mechanisms depends on the accurate detection of neuronal activities, which become visible as spikes in the electrical activity of neurons. In the present work, a novel entropy based method is proposed for spike detection which employs the fact that transient spike events change the entropy level of the neural time series. In this regard, the time-dependent entropy method can be used for detecting spike times, where the entropy of a selected segment of a neural time series, using a sliding window approach, is calculated and the time of the events are highlighted by sharp peaks in the output of the time-dependent entropy method. It is shown that the length of the sliding window determines the resolution of the time series in entropy space, therefore, the calculation is performed with a different window length for obtaining a multiresolution transform. The final decision threshold for detecting spike events is applied to the point-wise product of the time dependent entropy calculations with different resolutions. The proposed detection method has been assessed using several simulated and real neural data sets. The results show that the proposed method detects spikes in their exact times while compared with other traditional methods, relatively lower false alarm rate is obtained.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Electroencephalography (EEG) is an important tool in the diagnosis of epilepsy. Interictal spikes on EEG are used to monitor the development of epilepsy and the effects of drug therapy. EEG recordings are generally long and the data voluminous. Thus developing a sensitive and reliable automated algorithm for analyzing EEG data is necessary. APPROACH A new algorithm for detecting and classifying interictal spikes in mouse EEG recordings is proposed, based on the adapted continuous wavelet transform (CWT). The construction of the adapted mother wavelet is founded on a template obtained from a sample comprising the first few minutes of an EEG data set. MAIN RESULT The algorithm was tested with EEG data from a mouse model of epilepsy and experimental results showed that the algorithm could distinguish EEG spikes from other transient waveforms with a high degree of sensitivity and specificity. SIGNIFICANCE Differing from existing approaches, the proposed approach combines wavelet denoising, to isolate transient signals, with adapted CWT-based template matching, to detect true interictal spikes. Using the adapted wavelet constructed from a predefined template, the adapted CWT is calculated on small EEG segments to fit dynamical changes in the EEG recording.

Abstract
In this paper, we first presents a high accuracy epileptic electroencephalogram (EEG) classification algorithm. EEG data of epilepsy patients are preprocessed, segmented, and decomposed to intrinsic mode functions, from which features are extracted. Two classifiers are trained based on linear discriminant analysis (LDA) to classify EEG data into three types, i.e., normal, spike, and seizure. We further in-depth investigate the changes of the decision values in LDA on continuous EEG data. An epileptic EEG visualization and sonification algorithm is proposed to provide both temporal and spatial information of spike and seizure of epilepsy patients. In the experiment, EEG data of six subjects (two normal and four seizure patients) are included. The experiment result shows the proposed epileptic EEG classification algorithm achieves high accuracy. As well, the visualization and sonification algorithm exhibits a great help in nursing seizure patients and localizing the area of seizures.

Abstract
Background Epilepsy is a common chronic neurological disorder characterized by recurrent unprovoked seizures. Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals play a critical role in the diagnosis of epilepsy. Multichannel EEGs contain more information than do single-channel EEGs. Automatic detection algorithms for spikes or seizures have traditionally been implemented on single-channel EEG, and algorithms for multichannel EEG are unavailable. Methodology This study proposes a physiology-based detection system for epileptic seizures that uses multichannel EEG signals. The proposed technique was tested on two EEG data sets acquired from 18 patients. Both unipolar and bipolar EEG signals were analyzed. We employed sample entropy (SampEn), statistical values, and concepts used in clinical neurophysiology (e.g., phase reversals and potential fields of a bipolar EEG) to extract the features. We further tested the performance of a genetic algorithm cascaded with a support vector machine and post-classification spike matching. Principal Findings We obtained 86.69% spike detection and 99.77% seizure detection for Data Set I. The detection system was further validated using the model trained by Data Set I on Data Set II. The system again showed high performance, with 91.18% detection of spikes and 99.22% seizure detection. Conclusion We report a de novo EEG classification system for seizure and spike detection on multichannel EEG that includes physiology-based knowledge to enhance the performance of this type of system.

Abstract
Visual scoring of murine EEG signals is time-consuming and subject to low inter-observer reproducibility. The Racine scale for behavioral seizure severity does not provide information about interictal or sub-clinical epileptiform activity. An automated algorithm for murine EEG analysis was developed using total signal variation and wavelet decomposition to identify spike, seizure, and other abnormal signal types in single-channel EEG collected from kainic acid-treated mice. The algorithm was validated on multi-channel EEG collected from γ-butyrolacetone-treated mice experiencing absence seizures. The algorithm identified epileptiform activity with high fidelity compared to visual scoring, correctly classifying spikes and seizures with 99% accuracy and 91% precision. The algorithm correctly identifed a spike-wave discharge focus in an absence-type seizure recorded by 36 cortical electrodes. The algorithm provides a reliable and automated method for quantification of multiple classes of epileptiform activity within the murine EEG and is tunable to a variety of event types and seizure categories.

Abstract
Computer-aided diagnosis of neural diseases from EEG signals (or other physiological signals that can be treated as time series, e.g., MEG) is an emerging field that has gained much attention in past years. Extracting features is a key component in the analysis of EEG signals. In our previous works, we have implemented many EEG feature extraction functions in the Python programming language. As Python is gaining more ground in scientific computing, an open source Python module for extracting EEG features has the potential to save much time for computational neuroscientists. In this paper, we introduce PyEEG, an open source Python module for EEG feature extraction.

Abstract
Over 50 million people worldwide suffer from epilepsy. Traditional diagnosis of epilepsy relies on tedious visual screening by highly trained clinicians from lengthy EEG recording that contains the presence of seizure (ictal) activities. Nowadays, there are many automatic systems that can recognize seizure-related EEG signals to help the diagnosis. However, it is very costly and inconvenient to obtain long-term EEG data with seizure activities, especially in areas short of medical resources. We demonstrate in this paper that we can use the interictal scalp EEG data, which is much easier to collect than the ictal data, to automatically diagnose whether a person is epileptic. In our automated EEG recognition system, we extract three classes of features from the EEG data and build Probabilistic Neural Networks (PNNs) fed with these features. We optimize the feature extraction parameters and combine these PNNs through a voting mechanism. As a result, our system achieves an impressive 94.07% accuracy.

Abstract
Since the 1970s advances in science and technology during each succeeding decade have renewed the expectation of efficient, reliable automatic epileptiform spike detection (AESD). But even when reinforced with better, faster tools, clinically reliable unsupervised spike detection remains beyond our reach. Expert-selected spike parameters were the first and still most widely used for AESD. Thresholds for amplitude, duration, sharpness, rise-time, fall-time, after-coming slow waves, background frequency, and more have been used. It is still unclear which of these wave parameters are essential, beyond peak-peak amplitude and duration. Wavelet parameters are very appropriate to AESD but need to be combined with other parameters to achieve desired levels of spike detection efficiency. Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and expert-system methods may have reached peak efficiency. Support Vector Machine (SVM) technology focuses on outliers rather than centroids of spike and nonspike data clusters and should improve AESD efficiency. An exemplary spike/nonspike database is suggested as a tool for assessing parameters and methods for AESD and is available in CSV or Matlab formats from the author at brainvue@gmail.com. Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) is presented as a graphic method for finding better spike parameters and for the step-wise evaluation of the spike detection process.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Simultaneous acquisition of electroencephalogram (EEG) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) enables studies of brain activity at both high temporal and high spatial resolution. However, EEG acquired in a magnetic field is contaminated by ballistocardiogram (BKG) artifact. The most commonly used method of BKG artifact reduction, averaged artifact subtraction (AAS), was not designed to account for overlapping BKG waveforms generated by adjacent beats. We describe a new method based on a moving general linear model (mGLM) that accounts for overlapping BKG waveforms. METHODS Simultaneous EEG-fMRI at 3 Tesla was performed in nine normal human subjects (8-11 runs/subject, 5.52 min/run). Gradient switching artifact was effectively reduced using commercially supplied procedures. Cardiac beats were detected using a novel correlation detector algorithm applied to the EKG trace. BKG artifact was reduced using both mGLM and AAS. RESULTS mGLM recovered BKG waveforms outlasting the median inter-beat interval. mGLM more effectively than AAS removed variance in the EEG attributable to BKG artifact. CONCLUSIONS mGLM offers advantages over AAS especially in the presence of variable heart rate. SIGNIFICANCE The BKG artifact reduction procedure described herein improves the technique of simultaneous EEG-fMRI. Potential applications include basic investigations of the relationship between scalp potentials and functional imaging signals as well as clinical localization of epileptic foci.

Abstract
In this work, we present a methodology for spike enhancement in electroencephalographic (EEG) recordings. Our approach takes advantage of the non-stationarity nature of the EEG signal using a time-varying autoregressive model. The time-varying coefficients of autoregressive model are estimated using the Kalman filter. The results show considerable improvement in signal-to-noise ratio and significant reduction of the number of false positives.

Abstract
A prospective candidate for epilepsy surgery is studied both the ictal and interictal spikes (IS) to determine the localization of the epileptogenic zone. In this work, data mining (DM) classification techniques were utilized to build an automatic detection model. The selected DM algorithms are: Decision Trees (J 4.8), and Statistical Bayesian Classifier (naïve model). The main objective was the detection of IS, isolating them from the EEG's base activity. On the other hand, DM has an attractive advantage in such applications, in that the recognition of epileptic discharges does not need a clear definition of spike morphology. Furthermore, previously 'unseen' patterns could be recognized by the DM with proper 'training'. The results obtained showed that the efficacy of the selected DM algorithms is comparable to the current visual analysis used by the experts. Moreover, DM is faster than the time required for the visual analysis of the EEG. So this tool can assist the experts by facilitating the analysis of a patient's information, and reducing the time and effort required in the process.

Abstract
Long-term EEG monitoring in chronically epileptic animals produces very large EEG data files which require efficient algorithms to differentiate interictal spikes and seizures from normal brain activity, noise, and, artifact. We compared four methods for seizure detection based on (1) EEG power as computed using amplitude squared (the power method), (2) the sum of the distances between consecutive data points (the coastline method), (3) automated spike frequency and duration detection (the spike frequency method), and (4) data range autocorrelation combined with spike frequency (the autocorrelation method). These methods were used to analyze a randomly selected test set of 13 days of continuous EEG data in which 75 seizures were imbedded. The EEG recordings were from eight different rats representing two different models of chronic epilepsy (five kainate-treated and three hypoxic-ischemic). The EEG power method had a positive predictive value (PPV, or true positives divided by the sum of true positives and false positives) of 18% and a sensitivity (true positives divided by the sum of true positives and false negatives) of 95%, the coastline method had a PPV of 78% and sensitivity of 99.59, the spike frequency method had a PPV of 78% and a sensitivity of 95%, and the autocorrelation method yielded a PPV of 96% and a sensitivity of 100%. It is possible to detect seizures automatically in a prolonged EEG recording using computationally efficient unsupervised algorithms. Both the quality of the EEG and the analysis method employed affect PPV and sensitivity.

Abstract
This study introduces an integrated algorithm based on the Walsh transform to detect interictal spikes and artifactual data in epileptic patients using recorded EEG data. The algorithm proposes a unique mathematical use of Walsh-transformed EEG signals to identify those criteria that best define the morphologic characteristics of interictal spikes. EEG recordings were accomplished using the 10-20 system interfaced with the Electrical Source Imaging System with 256 channels (ESI-256) for enhanced preprocessing and on-line monitoring and visualization. The merits of the algorithm are: (1) its computational simplicity; (2) its integrated design that identifies and localizes interictal spikes while automatically removing or discarding the presence of different artifacts such as electromyography, electrocardiography, and eye blinks; and (3) its potential implication to other types of EEG analysis, given the mathematical basis of this algorithm, which can be patterned or generalized to other brain dysfunctions. The mathematics that were applied here assumed a dual role, that of transforming EEG signals into mutually independent bases and in ascertaining quantitative measures for those morphologic characteristics deemed important in the identification process of interictal spikes. Clinical experiments involved 31 patients with focal epilepsy. EEG data collected from 10 of these patients were used initially in a training phase to ascertain the reliability of the observable and formulated features that were used in the spike detection process. Three EEG experts annotated spikes independently. On evaluation of the algorithm using the 21 remaining patients in the testing phase revealed a precision (positive predictive value) of 92% and a sensitivity of 82%. Based on the 20- to 30-minute epochs of continuous EEG recording per subject, the false detection rate is estimated at 1.8 per hour of continuous EEG. These are positive results that support further development of this algorithm for prolonged EEG recordings on ambulatory subjects and to serve as a support mechanism to the decisions made by EEG experts.

Abstract
This paper introduces a three-stage procedure based on artificial neural networks for the automatic detection of epileptiform events (EVs) in a multichannel electroencephalogram (EEG) signal. In the first stage, two discrete perceptrons fed by six features are used to classify EEG peaks into three subgroups: 1) definite epileptiform transients (ETs); 2) definite non-ETs; and 3) possible ETs and possible non-ETs. The pre-classification done in the first stage not only reduces the computation time but also increases the overall detection performance of the procedure. In the second stage, the peaks falling into the third group are aimed to be separated from each other by a nonlinear artificial neural network that would function as a postclassifier whose input is a vector of 41 consecutive sample values obtained from each peak. Different networks, i.e., a backpropagation multilayer perceptron and two radial basis function networks trained by a hybrid method and a support vector method, respectively, are constructed as the postclassifier and then compared in terms of their classification performances. In the third stage, multichannel information is integrated into the system for contributing to the process of identifying an EV by the electroencephalographers (EEGers). After the integration of multichannel information, the overall performance of the system is determined with respect to EVs. Visual evaluation, by two EEGers, of 19 channel EEG records of 10 epileptic patients showed that the best performance is obtained with a radial basis support vector machine providing an average sensitivity of 89.1%, an average selectivity of 85.9%, and a false detection rate (per hour) of 7.5.

Abstract
The computer-aided detection of artefacts became an essential task with increasing automation of quantitative electroencephalogram (EEG) analysis during anaesthesiological applications. The different algorithms published so far required individual manual adjustment or have been based on limited decision criteria. In this study, we developed an artificial neural networks-(ANN-)aided method for automated detection of artefacts and EEG suppression periods. 72 hr EEG recorded before, during and after anaesthesia with propofol have been evaluated. Selected parameterized patterns of 0.25 s length were used to train the ANN (22 input, 8 hidden and 4 output neurons) with error back propagation. The detection performance of the ANN-aided method was tested with processing epochs between 1 to10 s. Related to examiner EEG evaluation, the average detection performance of the method was 72% sensitivity and 80% specificity for artefacts and 90% sensitivity and 92% specificity for EEG suppression. The improvement in signal-to-noise ratio with automated artefact processing was 1.39 times for the spectral edge frequency 95 (SEF95) and 1.89 times for the approximate entropy (ApEn). We conclude that ANN-aided preprocessing provide an useful tool for automated EEG evaluation in anaesthesiological applications.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of using the Walsh transformation to detect interictal spikes in electroencephalogram (EEG) data. Walsh operators were designed to formulate characteristics drawn from experimental observation, as provided by medical experts. The merits of the algorithm are: 1) in decorrelating the data to form an orthogonal basis and 2) simplicity of implementation. EEG recordings were obtained at a sampling frequency of 500 Hz using standard 10-20 electrode placements. Independent sets of EEG data recorded on 18 patients with focal epilepsy were used to train and test the algorithm. Twenty to thirty minutes of recordings were obtained with each subject awake, supine, and at rest. Spikes were annotated independently by two EEG experts. On evaluation, the algorithm identified 110 out of 139 spikes identified by either expert (True Positives = 79%) and missed 29 spikes (False Negatives = 21%). Evaluation of the algorithm revealed a Precision (Positive Predictive Value) of 85% and a Sensitivity of 79%. The encouraging preliminary results support its further development for prolonged EEG recordings in ambulatory subjects. With these results, the false detection (FD) rate is estimated at 7.2 FD per hour of continuous EEG recording.

Abstract
An efficient system for detection of epileptic activity in ambulatory electroencephalogram (EEG) must be sensitive to abnormalities while keeping the false-detection rate to a low level. Such requirements could be fulfilled neither by single stage nor by simple method strategy, due to the extreme variety of EEG morphologies and frequency of artifacts. The present study proposes a robust system that combines multiple signal-processing methods in a multistage scheme, integrating adaptive filtering, wavelet transform, artificial neural network, and expert system. The system consists of two main stages: a preliminary screening stage in which data are reduced significantly, followed by an analytical stage. Unlike most systems that merely focus on sharp transients, our system also takes into account slow waves. A nonlinear filter for separation of nonstationary and stationary EEG components is also developed in this paper. The system was evaluated on testing data from 81 patients, totaling more than 800 hours of recordings. 90.0% of the epileptic events were correctly detected. The detection rate of sharp transients was 98.0% and overall false-detection rate was 6.1%. We conclude that our system has good performance in detecting epileptiform activities and the multistage multimethod approach is an appropriate way of solving this problem.

Abstract
For algorithm developers, this review details recent approaches to the problem, compares the accuracy of various algorithms, identifies common testing issues and proposes some solutions. For the algorithm user, e.g. electroencephalograph (EEG) technician or neurologist, this review provides an estimate of algorithm accuracy and comparison to that of human experts. Manuscripts dated from 1975 are reviewed. Progress since Frost's 1985 review of the state of the art is discussed. Twenty-five manuscripts are reviewed. Many novel methods have been proposed including neural networks and high-resolution frequency methods. Algorithm accuracy is less than that of experts, but the accuracy of experts is probably less than what is commonly believed. Larger record sets will be required for expert-level detection algorithms.

Abstract
The electroencephalogram (EEG), a highly complex signal, is one of the most common sources of information used to study brain function and neurological disorders. More than 100 current neural network applications dedicated to EEG processing are presented. Works are categorized according to their objective (sleep analysis, monitoring anesthesia depth, brain-computer interface, EEG artifact detection, EEG source-based localization, etc.). Each application involves a specific approach (long-term analysis or short-term EEG segment analysis, real-time or time delayed processing, single or multiple EEG-channel analysis, etc.), for which neural networks were generally successful. The promising performances observed are demonstrative of the efficiency and efficacy of systems developed. This review can aid researchers, clinicians and implementors to understand up-to-date interest in neural network tools for EEG processing. The extended bibliography provides a database to assist in possible new concepts and idea development.
