    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Signal Processing
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Background:

    • Electroencephalography (EEG) is crucial for understanding brain activity.
    • Accurate amplitude measurement across EEG frequency bands is challenging.
    • Existing methods may lack precision for psychiatric and psychophysiological applications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a new numerical analysis method for EEG.
    • To enable accurate amplitude measurement in distinct EEG frequency bands.
    • To facilitate applications in psychiatry and psychophysiology.

    Main Methods:

    • EEG signals are fitted with orthogonal polynomials in a multi-step process.
    • The original EEG is decomposed into 5 signals with specific cutoff frequencies (40, 18, 4, 0.6 Hz).
    • Zero-crossing analysis classifies signal activity into standard EEG bands (delta, theta, alpha, sigma, beta).

    Main Results:

    • The method effectively separates various frequency components, including noise.
    • Results are provided as integrated values per second within EEG bands.
    • Individual wave characteristics (occurrence, amplitude, duration) are quantifiable.

    Conclusions:

    • The described method offers precise amplitude quantification for EEG frequency bands.
    • This technique is particularly valuable for detailed analysis in psychiatry and psychophysiology.
    • The approach enhances the diagnostic and research utility of EEG data.
