Analysis of EEG entropy during visual evocation of emotion in schizophrenia

Abstract

BackgroundIn this study, the international affective picture system was used to evoke emotion, and then the corresponding signals were collected. The features from different points of brainwaves, frequency, and entropy were used to identify normal, moderately, and markedly ill schizophrenic patients.MethodsThe signals were collected and preprocessed. Then, the signals were separated according to three types of emotions and five frequency bands. Finally, the features were calculated using three different methods of entropy. For classification, the features were divided into different sections and classification using support vector machine (principal components analysis on 95%). Finally, simple regression and correlation analysis between the total scores of positive and negative syndrome scale and features were used.ResultsAt first, we observed that to classify normal and markedly ill schizophrenic patients, the identification result was as high as 81.5%, and therefore, we further explored moderately and markedly ill schizophrenic patients. Second, the identification rate in both moderately and markedly ill schizophrenic patient was as high as 79.5%, which at the Fz point signal in high valence low arousal fragments was calculated using the ApEn methods. Finally, the total scores of positive and negative syndrome scale were used to analyze the correlation with the features that were the five frequency bands at the Fz point signal. The results show that the p value was less than .001 at the beta wave in the 15–18 Hz frequency range.

Integration of 24 Feature Types to Accurately Detect and Predict Seizures Using Scalp EEG Signals

“…Entropy is another important aspect for the analysis of biophysical signals [ 54 , 55 ], and four types of entropy features were used in this study.…”

Entropy-Based Pattern Learning Based on Singular Spectrum Analysis Components for Assessment of Physiological Signals

“…Entropy not only can be used to measure the additional information needed to determine the state of a system, but also can be used to quantify the irregular, random and chaotic behavior of physiological signals [12]. ere have been reported many application cases of entropy-based pattern learning by the use of a variety of entropy measures (such as approximate entropy (ApEn), sample entropy (SampEn), permutation entropy, spectral entropy, short-term Rényi entropy and Shannon entropy, and so on) [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. For instance, Raghu et al proposed a novel minimum variance modi ed fuzzy entropy to identify epileptic seizures in real time from electroencephalogram (EEG) signals, which achieved the classi cation accuracy of 100% [22].…”

Recognition of Eyelid Movement Using Electroencephalographic Signals

“…Caton (1) detected potential differences in the cerebral cortex of animals using a galvanometer in 1875, and Berger (2) recorded the first electroencephalography (EEG) in 1931. EEG equipment has now become very sophisticated, and emotional reactions (3) and concentration (4) in humans can be studied in some considerable detail, (5) and can even be used with game programs. (6) Ramachandran and Sazali (7) induced emotions by vision and hearing, and analyzed them with much channel electro-encephalogram signals.…”

“…(6) Ramachandran and Sazali (7) induced emotions by vision and hearing, and analyzed them with much channel electro-encephalogram signals. Chu et al (8) collected EEG signals from schizophrenic patients, induced emotions by vision, and correlated the EEG signals with the level of illness. Studies of concentration or attention using EEG signals are an important recent focus.…”
