Abstract

Evaluating the significance differences between the group of comatose patients and the group of brain death is important in the determination of brain death. This paper presents the power spectral pattern analysis for Quasi-Brain-Death EEG based on Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD). We first decompose a single-channel recorded EEG data into a number of components with different frequencies. We then focus on the components which are related to the brain activities. Since the power of spontaneous activities in the brain is usually higher than that of non-activity components. Therefore, we can evaluate the power spectral patterns between comatose patients and quasi-brain-deaths. Our experimental results illustrate the effectiveness of proposed method.
