Early detection of Alzheimer's Disease (AD) and Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) is possible using electroencephalography (EEG) signals. Wavelet analysis of EEG data provides accurate classification for aiding dementia diagnosis.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Signal Processing

Background:

  • Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder with no known cure.
  • Early detection of AD is crucial for potential intervention and management.
  • Electroencephalography (EEG) signals exhibit characteristic changes in AD patients, including reduced complexity and altered rhythms.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a procedure for distinguishing between AD, Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI), and healthy control (HC) individuals using EEG signals.
  • To compare the efficacy of Fourier and Wavelet Transforms for feature extraction in EEG-based classification.

Main Methods:

  • Applied time-frequency analysis using Fourier and Wavelet Transforms on 109 EEG samples (AD, MCI, HC).
Keywords:

Related Experiment Videos

  • Implemented a classification pipeline involving EEG signal preprocessing, feature extraction, and tree-based supervised classification.
  • Utilized Discrete Fourier Transform and Wavelet Transform for feature extraction.

    • Main Results:

    • Achieved high classification accuracies using Wavelet feature extraction: 83% (HC vs AD), 92% (HC vs MCI), and 79% (MCI vs AD).
    • Developed reliable, human-interpretable classification models for automatic patient assignment.
    • Demonstrated that Wavelet analysis outperformed Fourier Transform in classification performance.

    Conclusions:

    • Wavelet-based feature extraction combined with supervised methods is effective for automatic EEG signal classification.
    • This approach aids in the medical diagnosis of dementia, particularly for differentiating AD and MCI from healthy controls.
    • The findings suggest Wavelet analysis as a preferred method for EEG signal analysis in dementia diagnostics.
