Abstract

An EEG is a recording of the electrical signals produced by activity within the brain. A variety of cognitive and pathologies yield specific EEG signatures, which are diagnostic of the condition. As a clinical EEG may contain non-stationary signals, we have employed a Daubechies wavelet to automatically detect embedded signals that vary both in their frequency and magnitude from a clinical EEG dataset. The experimental results indicate that our system is able to identify anomalous signals embedded in a standard EEG data-stream that have frequencies within the range of 0.5-30 Hz.
