In this paper, a novel signal processing method is suggested for classifying epileptic seizures. To this end, first the Tangent and Hyperbolic Tangent of signals are calculated and then are classified into two classes: normal (or interictal) and ictal, using a proposed classifier. The results of this method show that the classification accuracy of normal and ictal classes (97.41%) has been higher than interictal and ictal classes (92.83%) and generally, it has a good potential to become a useful tool for physicians.
Abstract-In this paper, we evaluate the effects of neurofeedback training protocols of the relative power of the beta-I band and the fractal dimension on the reaction time of human by the Test of Variables of Attention (TOVA) to show which of these two protocols have the great ability for the improving of the reaction time. The findings of this research show that both protocols have a good ability (p < 0.01) to improving of the reaction time and can create the significant difference (as mean dRT = 37.3 ms for the beta-I protocol and dRT = 19.6 ms for the fractal protocol) in the reaction time. Of course, we must express, the Beta-I protocol has the more ability to improving of the reaction time and it is able to provide a faster reaction time.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
