Elementary Time Frequency Analysis of EEG Signal Processing

Abstract

EEG analysis is used as a tool for medical diagnosis of various diseases related to brain like epilepsy, dementia, brain disorders like stress etc. To identify such neural disorders it is essential to process these signal because of the nonstationary behavior. The time frequency analysis of EEG signals provide the correct visualization of EEG signals to extract the various rhythms of frequencies like alpha, beta, gamma waves. The Wavelet transform is used to carry out the time frequency analysis of EEG signal. Wavelets are used to analyze the EEG signals correctly. Their applications include seizure analysis, modeling of neuron potentials etc. To perform these applications it is necessary to perform the mathematical operations on EEG signal by windowing, filtering and then finally reconstruction.
