AnEEG: leveraging deep learning for effective artifact removal in EEG data.

In neuroscience and clinical diagnostics, electroencephalography (EEG) is a crucial instrument for capturing neural activity. However, this signal is polluted by different artifacts like muscle activity, eye blinks, environmental interference, etc., which makes it more difficult to retrieve important information from the signal. Deep learning methods have demonstrated the potential to lower these artifacts and enhance the EEG's quality in recent years. In this work, a novel deep learning method,"AnEEG" is presented for eliminating artifacts from EEG signal. The quantitative matrices NMSE, RMSE, CC, SNR and SAR are calculated to confirm the effectiveness of the proposed model. Through this process, it was found that the suggested model outperformed wavelet decomposition techniques. The model achieves lower NMSE and RMSE values, which indicates better agreement with the original signal. Achieving higher CC values means stronger linear agreement with the ground truth signals. Additionally, the model shows improvements in both SNR and SAR values. Overall, this suggested approach showcases promising results in improving the quality of EEG data by utilizing deep learning.

Multi-scale spatiotemporal attention network for neuron based motor imagery EEG classification.

BACKGROUND: In recent times, the expeditious expansion of Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) technology in neuroscience, which relies on electroencephalogram (EEG) signals associated with motor imagery, has yielded outcomes that rival conventional approaches, notably due to the triumph of deep learning. Nevertheless, the task of developing and training a comprehensive network to extract the underlying characteristics of motor imagining EEG data continues to pose challenges. NEW METHOD: This paper presents a multi-scale spatiotemporal self-attention (SA) network model that relies on an attention mechanism. This model aims to classify motor imagination EEG signals into four classes (left hand, right hand, foot, tongue/rest) by considering the temporal and spatial properties of EEG. It is employed to autonomously allocate greater weights to channels linked to motor activity and lesser weights to channels not related to movement, thus choosing the most suitable channels. Neuron utilises parallel multi-scale Temporal Convolutional Network (TCN) layers to extract feature information in the temporal domain at various scales, effectively eliminating temporal domain noise. RESULTS: The suggested model achieves accuracies of 79.26%, 85.90%, and 96.96% on the BCI competition datasets IV-2a, IV-2b, and HGD, respectively. COMPARISON WITH EXISTING METHODS: In terms of single-subject classification accuracy, this strategy demonstrates superior performance compared to existing methods. CONCLUSION: The results indicate that the proposed strategy exhibits favourable performance, resilience, and transfer learning capabilities.

Blockchain based energy efficient multi-tasking optimistic scenario for mobile edge computing.

Mobile edge computational power faces the difficulty of balancing the energy consumption of many devices and workloads as science and technology advance. Most related research focuses on exploiting edge server computing performance to reduce mobile device energy consumption and task execution time during task processing. Existing research, however, shows that there is no adequate answer to the energy consumption balances between multi-device and multitasking. The present edge computing system model has been updated to address this energy consumption balance problem. We present a blockchain-based analytical method for the energy utilization balance optimization problem of multi-mobile devices and multitasking and an optimistic scenario on this foundation. An investigation of the corresponding approximation ratio is performed. Compared to the total energy demand optimization method and the random algorithm, many simulation studies have been carried out. Compared to the random process, the testing findings demonstrate that the suggested greedy algorithm can improve average performance by 66.59 percent in terms of energy balance. Furthermore, when the minimum transmission power of the mobile device is between five and six dBm, the greedy algorithm nearly achieves the best solution when compared to the brute force technique under the classical task topology.

Privacy Protection of Healthcare Data over Social Networks Using Machine Learning Algorithms.

With the rapid development of mobile medical care, medical institutions also have the hidden danger of privacy leakage while sharing personal medical data. Based on the k-anonymity and l-diversity supervised models, it is proposed to use the classified personalized entropy l-diversity privacy protection model to protect user privacy in a fine-grained manner. By distinguishing solid and weak sensitive attribute values, the constraints on sensitive attributes are improved, and the sensitive information is reduced for the leakage probability of vital information to achieve the safety of medical data sharing. This research offers a customized information entropy l-diversity model and performs experiments to tackle the issues that the information entropy l-diversity model does not discriminate between strong and weak sensitive features. Data analysis and experimental results show that this method can minimize execution time while improving data accuracy and service quality, which is more effective than existing solutions. The limits of solid and weak on sensitive qualities are enhanced, sensitive data are reduced, and the chance of crucial data leakage is lowered, all of which contribute to the security of healthcare data exchange. This research offers a customized information entropy l-diversity model and performs experiments to tackle the issues that the information entropy l-diversity model does not discriminate between strong and weak sensitive features. The scope of this research is that this paper enhances data accuracy while minimizing the algorithm's execution time.

Classification of Bioinformatics EEG Data Signals to Identify Depressed Brain State Using CNN Model.

Patients suffering from severe depression may be precisely assessed using online EEG categorization and their progress tracked over time, minimizing the risk of danger and suicide. Online EEG categorization systems, on the other hand, suffer additional challenges in the absence of empirical oversight. A lack of effective decoupling between brain regions and neural networks occurs during brain disease attacks, resulting in EEG data with poor signal intensity, high noise, and nonstationary characteristics. CNN employs momentum SGD optimization. By using a tiny momentum decay factor, the literature's starting strategy, and the same batch normalization, this work attempts to decrease model error. Before being utilized to form a training set, samples are shuffled, followed by validation and testing on the new samples in the set. An online EEG categorization system driven by a convolution neural network has been developed to do this. The approach is applied directly to the EEG input and is able to accurately and quickly identify depressed states without the need for preprocessing or feature extraction. The healthy control group and the depression control group had accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of 99.08 percent, 98.77 percent, and 99.42 percent, respectively, in experiments on depression evaluation based on publicly accessible data. The machine learning technique based on feature extraction is often getting more and more complex, making it only suited for offline EEG categorization. While neural networks have become increasingly important in the study of artificial intelligence in recent years, they are still essentially black-box function approximations with limited interpretability. In addition, quantitative study of the neural network shows that depressed patients and healthy persons have remarkable dissimilarity between the right and left temporal lobe brain regions.

Retrospection of Nonlinear Adaptive Algorithm-Based Intelligent Plane Image Interaction System.

This paper introduces the application and classification of an adaptive filtering algorithm in the image enhancement algorithm. And the filtering noise reduction impact is compared using MATLAB software for programming, image processing, LMS algorithm, RLS algorithm, histogram equalisation algorithm, and Wiener filtering method filtering noise reduction effect. To optimize the intelligent graphic image interaction system, the proposed nonlinear adaptive algorithm of intelligent graphic image interaction system research is based on the digital filter and adaptive filtering algorithm for simulation experiment. The experimental results of several noise index data filtering algorithms show that the fuzzy coefficient k of LMS index is 0.86, RLS index is 0.91, the histogram equalization index is 0.53, and the Wiener filtering index is 0.62. LMS index of quality index Q is 0.90, RLS index is 0.95, histogram equalization index is 0.58, Wiener filtering index is 0.65. According to the above results, comparing LMS with the RLS method and according to SNR, k, and Q values in the simulation results in the process of processing, it is found that the convergence speed of the RLS algorithm is obviously better than that of the LMS algorithm, and the stability is also good. Additionally, the differential imaging data can provide a strong reference for the clinical diagnosis and qualitative differentiation of TBP and CP, and MSCT is worthy of extensive application in the clinical diagnosis of peritonitis. The processing effect of the image with high similarity to the original image is greatly improved compared with the histogram equalization and Wiener filtering methods used in the simulation.

SAM 40: Dataset of 40 subject EEG recordings to monitor the induced-stress while performing Stroop color-word test, arithmetic task, and mirror image recognition task.

This paper presents a collection of electroencephalogram (EEG) data recorded from 40 subjects (female: 14, male: 26, mean age: 21.5 years). The dataset was recorded from the subjects while performing various tasks such as Stroop color-word test, solving arithmetic questions, identification of symmetric mirror images, and a state of relaxation. The experiment was primarily conducted to monitor the short-term stress elicited in an individual while performing the aforementioned cognitive tasks. The individual tasks were carried out for 25 s and were repeated to record three trials. The EEG was recorded using a 32-channel Emotiv Epoc Flex gel kit. The EEG data were then segmented into non-overlapping epochs of 25 s depending on the various tasks performed by the subjects. The EEG data were further processed to remove the baseline drifts by subtracting the average trend obtained using the Savitzky-Golay filter. Furthermore, the artifacts were also removed from the EEG data by applying wavelet thresholding. The dataset proposed in this paper can aid and support the research activities in the field of brain-computer interface and can also be used in the identification of patterns in the EEG data elicited due to stress.
