Driver fatigue has been under more attention as it is a main cause of traffic accidents. This paper proposed a method which utilized the inter/intra-region phase synchronization and functional units (FUs) to explore whether EEG synchronization changes from the alert state to the fatigue state. Mean phase coherence (MPC) is adopted as a measure for the phase synchronization. In order to find spatial-frequency features associated with mental state, we studied the intra/inter-region phase synchronization of EEG in different frequencies. The major finding is that EEG synchronizations in delta and alpha bands in frontal and parietal lobe are significantly increased as the mental state of the driver shifted from alertness to fatigue. This finding is simultaneously validated by NASA-Task Load Index (TLX) and Karolinska sleepiness scale (KSS). The statistical analysis results suggest MPC may be used to distinguish between alert and fatigue state of mind. In addition, the another contribution of the work indicates a simple and significant spatial-frequency pair of electrodes, i.e., Fz-Oz in delta band, to evaluate driver fatigue. It helps to implement real-world applications with wearable EEG equipment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The default mode network (DMN) has been largely studied by imaging, but not yet by neurodynamics, using electroencephalography (EEG) functional connectivity (FC). mindfulness meditation (MM), a receptive, non-elaborative training is theorized to lower DMN activity. We explored: (i) the usefulness of EEG-FC for investigating the DMN and (ii) the MM-induced EEG-FC effects. To this end, three MM groups were compared with controls, employing EEG-FC (–MPC, mean phase coherence). Our results show that: (i) DMN activity was identified as reduced overall inter-hemispheric gamma MPC during the transition from resting state to a time production task and (ii) MM-induced a state increase in alpha MPC as well as a trait decrease in EEG-FC. The MM-induced EEG-FC decrease was irrespective of expertise or band. Specifically, there was a relative reduction in right theta MPC, and left alpha and gamma MPC. The left gamma MPC was negatively correlated with MM expertise, possibly related to lower internal verbalization. The trait lower gamma MPC supports the notion of MM-induced reduction in DMN activity, related with self-reference and mind-wandering. This report emphasizes the possibility of studying the DMN using EEG-FC as well as the importance of studying meditation in relation to it. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: Objective: Potential differences between coherence and phase synchronization analyses of human sleep electroencephalogram (EEG) are assessed and occurrences of phase vs. complete synchronization between EEG signals from different locations during different sleep stages are investigated. Methods: Linear spectral coherence, mean phase coherence (MPC) z-score and Pearson’s correlation coefficient of analytic amplitudes were evaluated for different spectral bands of whole-night EEG recordings from 25 healthy subjects. Results: Coherence and MPC z-score demonstrated practically the same statistical differences between vigilance stages, confirming the findings of previous coherence-based studies. MPC z-score and amplitude correlations were most correlated (>0.5) between homologous interhemispheric positions and least correlated between nonhomologous interhemispheric positions and between fronto-occipital positions. Conclusions: Coherence and phase synchronization provided essentially the same information. Complete synchronization was manifested by highly coherent phases and correlated amplitudes, as well as by correlated changes of phase synchronization, coherence and amplitude correlations between vigilance states. In cases of weaker coupling, phase synchronization and coherence change in agreement, while behaviour of amplitude correlations differs. Significance: Phase synchronization analysis is not superior to coherence analysis, although the coupling between EEG signals is dominated by phase synchronization which turns into complete synchronization in the most strongly coupled EEG signals.

Phase synchronization (PS) analysis has been demonstrated to be a useful method to infer functional connectivity with multichannel neural signals, e.g., electroencephalography (EEG). Methodological problems on quantifying functional connectivity with PS analysis have been investigated extensively, but some of them have not been fully solved yet. For example, how long a segment of EEG signal should be used in estimating PS index? Which methods are more suitable to infer the significant level of estimated PS index? To address these questions, this paper performs an intensive computation study on PS analysis based on surrogate tests with 1) artificial surrogate data generated by shuffling the rank order, the phase spectra, or the instantaneous frequency of original EEG signals, and 2) intersubject EEG pairs under the assumption that the EEG signals of different subjects are independent. Results show that 1) the phase-shuffled surrogate method is workable for significance test of estimated PS index and yields results similar to those by intersubject EEG surrogate test; 2) generally, a duration of EEG waves covering about 3\sim 16 cycles is suitable for PS analysis; and 3) the PS index based on mean phase coherence is more suitable for PS analysis of EEG signals recorded at relatively low sampling rate.

- Abstract
Meditation describes a large variety of traditions that all include the conscious focus of attention. By maintaining attention, meditators experience both acute and long-term changes in physiology, anatomy, and cognitive performance. The type of performance benefit is believed to depend, at least in part, on the specific type of mental training. What is much less clear in the literature is the impact of a single session of meditation on the brain and how the acute changes could impact performance. Studies in advanced meditators show an increase in neuronal coordination and slowing of neuronal firing across many regions in the brain, but this remains poorly studied in novices. It is also unknown how neural dynamics fluctuate over time during meditation, as most studies have assumed the changes remain relatively constant. To investigate this, non-meditators were taught a simple eyes-closed focused breathing meditation. This technique is common to many meditation traditions and is often used at the start or end of more advanced meditation techniques. Using a within subject design, attention and vigilance were measured using the psychomotor vigilance test (PVT). Novice meditators showed improvement on the PVT with 20 minutes, and even 5-minutes of meditation in a large classroom setting. Using electroencephalography, EEG, the neural dynamics during a single session of 20-minute meditation were investigated. This exploratory analysis also implemented a phase synchronization measure of coherence, mean phase coherence (MPC), which is novel to the meditation field. Results suggest that MPC may have identified regions of high coherence during meditation that are also correlated with improved PVT attentional performance. The results also suggest that meditation is a dynamic neural process that requires more careful analysis into changes over time (across a single meditation bout). Finally, results suggest that “control” conditions need to be more systematically studied, as many conditions may show similar benefits or neural dynamics to meditation.

- Abstract
Electroencephalography (EEG) is a widely used technique for monitoring and analyzing brain activity in experimental, diagnostic, and therapeutic applications. Since EEG is sensitive to noise and artefact sources, referential signals at different locations can be combined in different ways to improve signal quality and better localize cortical activity. Four signal derivations were compared against referential EEG in terms of their ability to measure the alpha rhythm modulation (or reactivity) and spatial coherence associated with an eye closure task: a common average reference (CAR), a local average reference (LAR), a large Laplacian (LL), and a focal Laplacian (FL) estimated using a specialized electrode. Results showed significant differences in the alpha reactivity averaged across all electrodes between EEG derivations: the CAR showed significantly greater reactivity than all other derivations while the LL showed significantly lower reactivity compared to all other derivations. No significant differences in alpha reactivity were found between the referential EEG, LAR, and FL when averaged across all locations. LL and FL displayed a trend of increasing alpha reactivity from frontal to occipital regions while the CAR and LAR showed no such trend. The referential EEG showed a linear decrease in spatial coherence as distance increased while the FL showed an exponential decrease. Further, the referential EEG showed no change in spatial coherence related to eye closure while all other derivations showed a significant increase. The focal Laplacian improves detection of alpha reactivity and signal localization without the need for multiple electrodes.

- Abstract
Background and Objective: Despite the widespread prevalence of Multiple Sclerosis (MS), the study of brain interactions is still poorly understood. Moreover, there has always been a great need to automate the MS diagnosis procedure to eliminate the evaluation errors thereby improving its consistency and reliability. To address these issues, in this work, we proposed a robust pattern recognition algorithm as a computer-aided diagnosis system. This method is based on calculating the pairwise phase-synchrony of EEG recordings during a visual task. Initially, the bivariate empirical mode decomposition (BEMD) was applied to extract the intrinsic mode functions (IMFs). The phases of these IMFs were then obtained using the Hilbert transform to be utilized in the mean phase coherence (MPC), a measure for phase-synchrony calculation. After the construction of the feature space using MPC values, the ReliefF algorithm was applied for dimension reduction. Finally, the best distinguishing features were input to a k-nearest neighbor (KNN) classifier. The results revealed a higher level of network synchronization in the posterior regions of the brain and desynchronization in the anterior regions among the MS group as compared with the normal subjects. In the validation phase, the leave-one-subject-out cross-validation (LOOCV) method was used to assess the validity of the proposed algorithm. We achieved an accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of 93.09%, 91.07%, and 95.24% for red-green, 90.44%, 88.39%, and 92.62% for luminance, and 87.44%, 87.05%, and 87.86% for blue-yellow tasks, respectively. The experimental results demonstrated the reliability of the presented method to be generalized in the field of automated MS diagnosis systems., Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest The authors claim no conflicts of interest., (Copyright © 2019 Elsevier Ltd.

Tese de doutoramento em Ciência da Informação e Tecnologia, apresentada ao Departamento de Engenharia Informática da Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia da Universidade de Coimbra This thesis concerns the problems of epileptic seizure prediction and detection. We analyzed multichannel intracranial electroencephalogram (iEEG) and surface electroencephalogram (sEEG) recordings of patients suffering from refractory epilepsy, to access the brain state in real time by using relevant EEG features and computational intelligence techniques, and aiming for detection of pre-seizure state (in the case of prediction) or seizure onset times (in the case of detection). Our main original contribution is the development of a novel relative bivariate spectral power feature to track gradual transient changes prior to ictal events for real-time seizure prediction. Furthermore a novel robust and generalized measure for early seizure detection is developed, aimed to be used in closed-loop neurostimulation systems. The development of a general platform embeddable on a transportable low-power-budget device is of utmost importance, for real time warning to patients and their relatives about the impending seizure or beginning of an occurring seizure. The portable device can also be integrated to work in conjunction with a closed-loop neurostimulation or fast-acting drug injection mechanism to eventually disarm the impending seizure or to suppress the just-occurring seizure. Therefore, in this thesis we try to meet the dual-objective of developing algorithms for seizure prediction and early seizure detection that provide high sensitivity and low number of false alarms, fulfilling the requirements of clinical applications, while being low computational cost. To seek the first objective, a patient-specific seizure prediction was developed based on the extraction of novel relative bivariate spectral power features, which were then preprocessed, dimensionally reduced, and classified using a machine-learning algorithm. The introduced feature bears low complexity, and was discriminated using the powerful support vector machine (SVM) classifier. We analyzed the preictal EEG dynamics across different brain regions and throughout several frequency bands, using relative bivariate features to uncover the underlying mechanisms ending in epileptic seizures. The suggested prediction system was evaluated on long-term continuous sEEG and iEEG recordings of 24 patients, and produced statistically significant results with average sensitivity of 75.8% and false prediction rate of 0.1 per hour. Furthermore a novel statistical method was developed for proper selection of preictal period, and also for the evaluation of predictive capability of features, as well as for the predictability of seizures. The method uses amplitude distribution histograms (ADHs) of the features extracted from the preictal and interictal iEEG and sEEG recordings, and then calculates a criterion of discriminability among two classes. The method was evaluated on spectral power features extracted from monopolar and bipolar iEEG and sEEG recordings of 18 patients, in overall consisting of 94 epileptic seizures. To approach the objective of early seizure detection, we have formulated power spectral density (PSD) of bipolar EEG signal in the form of a measure of neuronal potential similarity (NPS) between two EEG signals. This measure encompasses the phase and amplitude similarities of two EEG channels in a simultaneous fashion. The NPS measure was then studied in several narrow frequency bands to find out the most relevant sub-bands involved in seizure initiations, and the best performing ratio of two NPS measures for seizure onset detection was determined. Evaluating on long-term continuous iEEG recordings of 11 patients with refractory partial epilepsy (overall of 1785 h and 183 seizures) the results showed high performance, while requiring a very low computational cost. On average, we could achieve a sensitivity of 86.3%, a low false detection rate (FDR) of 0.048/h, and a mean detection latency of 14.2s from electrographic seizure onsets, while in average preceding clinical onsets by 1.1s. Apart from the above mentioned primary objectives, we introduced two new and robust methods for offline or real-time labelling of epileptic seizures in long-term continuous EEG recordings for further studies. Methods include mean phase coherence estimated from bandpass filtered iEEG signals in specific frequency bands, and singular value decomposition (SVD) of bipolar iEEG signals. Both methods were evaluated on the same dataset employed in the previous study and demonstrated sensitivity of 84.2% and FDR of 0.09/h for sub-band mean phase coherence, and sensitivity of 84.1% and FDR of 0.05/h for bipolar SVD, on average. Most of this work was established in collaboration with the EPILEPSIAE project, aimed to predict of pharmacoresistant epileptic seizures. The developed methods in this thesis were evaluated by the accessibility of long-term continuous multichannel EEG recordings of more than 275 patients with refractory epilepsy, referred to as The European Epilepsy Database. This database was collected by the three clinical centers involved in EPILEPSIAE, and contains well-documented metadata. The results of this thesis are backing the hypothesis of the predictability of most of epileptic seizures using linear bivariate spectral-temporal brain dynamics. Moreover, the promising results of early seizure detection sustain the feasibility of integrating the proposed method with closed-loop neurostimulation systems. We hope the developed methods could be a step forward towards the clinical applications of seizure prediction and onset detection algorithms. Esta tese versa os problemas de predição e de deteção de crises epiléticas. Analisa-se o eletroencefalograma multicanal intracraniano (iEEG) e de superfície (sEEG) de pacientes que sofrem de epilepsia refratária, para a estimação em tempo real do estado cerebral, usando características relevantes do EEG e técnicas de inteligência computacional, ambicionando a deteção do estado pré-ictal (no caso de previsão) ou dos instantes de início de uma crise (no caso de deteção). A principal contribuição original é o desenvolvimento de uma característica de potência espectral bivariada relativa para captar as mudanças transitórias graduais que levam a crises e que poderão ser usadas para previsão em tempo real. Além disso, é desenvolvida uma nova medida, robusta e generalizada para a deteção precoce, destinada a ser utilizada em sistemas de neuro estimulação em malha fechada. O desenvolvimento de uma plataforma geral possível de ser integrada num dispositivo transportável, energeticamente económico, é de grande relevância para o aviso em tempo real do doente e dos seus próximos sobre a eminência da ocorrência de uma crise. O dispositivo transportável também pode ser usado em malha fechada com um neuro estimulador ou com um dispositivo de injeção rápida de um fármaco que desarme eventualmente a crise em curso. Por isso nesta tese persegue-se o objectivo de desenvolver algoritmos para previsão mas também para deteção de crises. Em ambos os casos, pretende-se que os algoritmos tenham uma elevada sensibilidade e uma baixa taxa de falsos positivos, tornando viável a sua utilização clínica. Para o objectivo de previsão, desenvolveu-se um método de previsão personalizado baseado na extração de uma característica nova, denominada de potência relativa espectral bivariada, que foi submetida a pre-processamento, redução de dimensão e classificação com Máquinas de Vetores de Suporte (SVM). Esta nova característica, de baixa complexidade, é computacionalmente simples, mas permite a análise da dinâmica do EEG preictal em diferentes regiões do cérebro e ao longo de várias bandas de frequência, de modo a descobrir os mecanismos subjacentes às crises epiléticas. O sistema de previsão obtido foi avaliado em registos contínuos de sEEG e iEEG de 24 pacientes, e produziu resultados estatisticamente significativos com sensibilidade média de 75.8% e taxa de predição falsa de 0.1 por hora. Além disso, foi desenvolvido um novo método estatístico para a seleção apropriada do período preictal, e também para a avaliação da capacidade preditiva das características, assim como para a própria previsibilidade das crises. O método utiliza os histogramas de distribuição de amplitude (ADHS) das características extraídas nos períodos pré-ictal e ictal dos registos de iEEG e sEEG e, em seguida, calcula um critério de discriminabilidade entre as duas classes. O método foi avaliado nas características de potencia espectral extraídas de registos iEEG e sEEG, monopolares e bipolares de 18 pacientes, consistindo num número total de crises epilépticas de 94. O segundo objetivo, a deteção precoce de crises, foi abordado através da formulação da densidade de potência espectral (PSD) de canais de EEG bipolares na forma de uma medida da similaridade do potencial neuronal (NPS) entre dois sinais de EEG. Esta medida usa as similaridades entre as fases e as amplitudes de dois canais de EEG de um modo simultâneo. A medida NPS foi estudada em várias bandas estreitas de frequência de modo a descobrir-se quais as sub-bandas mais envolvidas na inicialização das crises; buscou-se assim a melhor razão entre duas NPS do ponto de vista da deteção precoce. Avaliadas em iEEG contínuos de longa duração de 11 doentes com epilepsia refratária parcial (num total de 1785 h e 183 crises), os resultados apresentam um desempenho com sensibilidade de 86.3% e taxa de deteção falsa (FDR) de 0.048/h, uma latência de 14.2s em relação ao início eletrográfico, sendo uma crise detetada em média 1.1s antes da sua manifestação clínica. Para além dos objetivos principais referidos acima, introduziram-se dois novos métodos, robustos, para etiquetagem em diferido e em tempo real das crises em registos contínuos de EEG de longa duração para estudos posteriores. Esses métodos incluem a coerência de fase média (mean phase coherence) estimada a partir de registos iEEG em bandas de frequência específicas (usando filtros passa-banda), e a decomposição em valores singulares (SVD) de sinais iEEG bipolares. Ambos os métodos foram avaliados no mesmo conjunto de dados do estudo anterior e apresentaram, em média, uma sensibilidade de 84.2% e um FDR de 0.09/h para a coerência de fase média calculada para as sub-bandas, e sensibilidade de 84.1% e FDR de 0.05/h para a metodologia que usa a decomposição SVD bipolar. Grande parte deste trabalho foi feito no âmbito do projeto EPILEPSIAE, visando a previsão de crises em doentes epiléticos fármaco-resistentes. Os métodos desenvolvidos nesta tese aproveitaram a acessibilidade aos dados bem documentados de mais de 275 pacientes que constituem a Base de Dados Europeia de Epilepsia (European Epilepsy Database), provenientes dos três centros hospitalares participantes no projeto. Os resultados desta tese apoiam a hipótese da previsibilidade da maioria das crises epiléticas usando dinâmicas cerebrais bivariadas lineares espetrais e temporais. Além disso os resultados são promissores relativamente à deteção precoce de crises e sustentam a fazibilidade da integração desses métodos com técnicas de neuroestimulação em malha fechada. Esperamos que os métodos desenvolvidos resultem num avanço no que respeita à aplicação clínica de algoritmos de previsão e deteção de crises. FCT - SFRH/BD/71497/2010

- Abstract
Subclinical seizures (SCS) have rarely been considered in the diagnosis and therapy of epilepsy and have not been systematically analyzed in studies on seizure prediction. Here, we investigate whether predictions of subclinical seizures are feasible and how their occurrence may affect the performance of prediction algorithms. Using the European database of long-term recordings of surface and invasive electroencephalography data, we analyzed the data from 21 patients with SCS, including in total 413 clinically manifest seizures (CS) and 3341 SCS. Based on the mean phase coherence we investigated the predictive performance of CS and SCS. The two types of seizures had similar prediction sensitivities. Significant performance was found considerably more often for SCS than for CS, especially for patients with invasive recordings. When analyzing false alarms triggered by predicting CS, a significant number of these false predictions were followed by SCS for 9 of 21 patients. Although currently observed prediction performance may not be deemed sufficient for clinical applications for the majority of the patients, it can be concluded that the prediction of SCS is feasible on a similar level as for CS and allows a prediction of more of the seizures impairing patients, possibly also reducing the number of false alarms that were in fact correct predictions of CS. less thanbrgreater than less thanbrgreater thanThis article is part of a Supplemental Special Issue entitled The Future of Automated Seizure Detection and Prediction., Funding Agencies|European Union|211713|German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF)|01GQ0420|German Federal Government||State Government||German Science Foundation|Ti 315/4-2|Baden-Wurttemberg Stiftung
