Electroencephalograms (EEGs) are becoming increasingly importantmeasurements of brain activity and they have great potential forthe diagnosis and treatment of mental and brain diseases andabnormalities. With appropriate interpretation methods they areemerging as a key methodology to satisfy the increasing globaldemand for more affordable and effective clinical and healthcareservices.

Developing and understanding advanced signal processingtechniques for the analysis of EEG signals is crucial in the areaof biomedical research. This book focuses on these techniques,providing expansive coverage of algorithms and tools from the fieldof digital signal processing. It discusses their applications tomedical data, using graphs and topographic images to showsimulation results that assess the efficacy of the methods.

Additionally, expect to find:

* explanations of the significance of EEG signal analysis andprocessing (with examples) and a useful theoretical andmathematical background for the analysis and processing of EEGsignals;

* an exploration of normal and abnormal EEGs, neurologicalsymptoms and diagnostic information, and representations of theEEGs;

* reviews of theoretical approaches in EEG modelling, such asrestoration, enhancement, segmentation, and the removal ofdifferent internal and external artefacts from the EEG and ERP(event-related potential) signals;

* coverage of major abnormalities such as seizure, and mentalillnesses such as dementia, schizophrenia, and Alzheimer'sdisease, together with their mathematical interpretations from theEEG and ERP signals and sleep phenomenon;

* descriptions of nonlinear and adaptive digital signalprocessing techniques for abnormality detection, sourcelocalization and brain-computer interfacing using multi-channel EEGdata with emphasis on non-invasive techniques, together with futuretopics for research in the area of EEG signal processing.

The information within EEG Signal Processing has thepotential to enhance the clinically-related information within EEGsignals, thereby aiding physicians and ultimately providing morecost effective, efficient diagnostic tools. It will be beneficialto psychiatrists, neurophysiologists, engineers, and students orresearchers in neurosciences. Undergraduate and postgraduatebiomedical engineering students and postgraduate epileptologystudents will also find it a helpful reference.

Über Autor(innen)

Dr. Sanei received his PhD from Imperial College of Science,Technology, and Medicine, London, in Biomedical Signal and ImageProcessing in 1991. His major interest is in biomedical signal andimage processing, adaptive and nonlinear signal processing, patternrecognition and classification. He has had a major contribution toElectroencephalogram (EEG) analysis such as epilepsy prediction,cognition evaluation, and brain computer interface (BCI).Currently, he is involved in teaching various undergraduate andpostgraduate subjects such as Real-time Signal Processing,Non-linear and Adaptive Signal & Image processing, IntelligentSignal Processing, VHDL based Digital Signal Processing, andDigital Design.
Jonathon Chambers joined the Cardiff School ofEngineering in January 2004 and leads a team of researchersinvolved in the analysis, design and evaluation of new algorithmsfor digital signal processing with application in acoustics,biomedicine and beyond 3G wireless communications, and is theDirector of the Centre of Digital Signal Processing and the GroupLeader of the Telecommunications and Information TechnologyGroup.
