Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Computational Neuroscience
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals offer high temporal resolution for monitoring brain activity.
  • Analyzing EEG during mental arithmetic aids in understanding disorders like dyscalculia and ADHD.
  • Existing methods often rely on single EEG channels, overlooking valuable inter-channel relationships.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify distinctive effective brain connectivity features from EEG signals.
  • To develop a hierarchical feature selection method for classifying mental arithmetic tasks.
  • To improve the accuracy of mental arithmetic task classification using EEG.

Main Methods:

  • Effective connectivity was estimated using Directed Transfer Function (DTF), dDTF, and Generalized Partial Directed Coherence (GPDC).
  • A hierarchical feature selection process involved Kruskal-Wallis test and algorithms like SVM, Fisher score, and concave minimization.
  • Support Vector Machine (SVM) was employed for the final classification.

Main Results:

  • The best classification performance was achieved using GPDC and concave minimization feature selection.
  • An accuracy of 89% was obtained in classifying mental arithmetic and baseline tasks.
  • Optimal results were observed in the Beta2 (15-22Hz) frequency band across 29 participants and 60 trials.

Conclusions:

  • A novel hierarchical automated system effectively discriminates mental arithmetic and baseline tasks using EEG signals.
  • The proposed method highlights the importance of effective brain connectivity analysis in EEG-based diagnostics.
  • This system shows potential for aiding in the identification of cognitive and neurological disorders.
